Sonnet 05:31
And I came to my senses, what a fool I could be Of a heart that grows colder from the air that I breathe To look at my face, oh so pleasantly calm Yet my heart beholds a weakness Could you just see through me Have I lost all my faith, for a beautiful world In a quiet degradation of passion and purpose Here I stand at the edge of the future and now From the depths of my lungs Oh could you just sing to me Into the fire Into your grace Into your love You know I’m here To love you To love you

Hello Sunday morning Running out on the shores Face against the wind So tell me how you feel The scent of risen bread in the wind The sky a brilliant blue again This is the new world A place to call my home So cast the rubbles aside Beneath the cracks on the floor Tomorrow lives once more Pin up that flower in your hair Keep spinning round and round again This is the new world A place to call your own Ooo… So haste the day To save this love romance Once withered in his hands Take a chance, take a chance It’s never coming again You know it'll never stay the same This is the new world A place to call my home Ooo... And the world starts coming alive And there’s nothing more to hide Tomorrow holds a hope A hope that is unknown And the world starts coming alive And there's nothing more to hide Tomorrow holds a hope Tomorrow spring comes home

Dreamer 04:26
You are the ground beneath my feet and I say You are everything I feel and say You are all i ever needed now 'Cause one day you came to me With the perfect gift that I have ever received So tell me what do you fashion? Tell me what you would like to see In a world that you are dreaming of So tell me what's gonna happen, Tell me how is it gonna be In a world that you are living for You are the colours that I see and I say You are all i ever breathe and say You are all I wanna be with now 'Cause one day you came to me With the perfect gift that I have ever received So tell me what do you fashion? Tell me what you would like to see In a world that you are dreaming of So tell me what's gonna happen, Tell me how is it gonna be In a world that you are living for So we're saved Yes we are Our souls be saved, take me on So tell me what do you fashion? Tell me what you would like to see In a world that you are dreaming of So tell me what's gonna happen, Tell me how is it gonna be In a world that you are living for So we know We are the universe You and me

Can you see the light in my eyes? Beyond this deep black iris that you know Can you hear the voices behind The walls that leaves us sentimentally lonesome? In a plain black dress with a purple lace She graces the beat of a jazz ballet So come on dance now and don't you cry And there ain't no place that I'd rather be Just you and I at the matinee With that look in your eyes Well I could be your everything You could be my everyone I could be your special friend You could be my only one My skin is cold and I'm growing old A time has come that can't be foretold With a mind and a heart that breaks Though i gave all my best to you Would someone be hear to tell The stories that I wrote? Though the world may have its idea of fame Yet what's the point? They can't remember your name So tell me now, am I not right? But in the quiet beneath the trees Do you remember the days that were so beautiful To me? Well I could be your everything You could be my everyone I could be your special friend You could be my only one

Hours 06:02
You came and gave to me A heart and helped me breathe Like the ocean and its tide You gave me life Beneath your weary eyes Though hardness tries to hide But a child could recognise Your love inside Maybe it's going away Your heart, your heart
7.
Let it be a perfect heart for all your sweet romances Take my pride to cast the stone and justify my right Look beyond this Have you ever given orders to the morning Or shown the dawn its place to shake the earth of its ill Do you know the dwelling of the paths of light Or how the east wind scatters over our skin Can you bind the twinkling of the stars or loose the cords of Orion’s noble charge Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons Could you fathom that? May it be a perfect love for us to give the hopeless Take my life, I worry far too much beyond my might Look beyond this Do you know when the mountain goats are due birth Or watch when the doe bears her fawn Do you know who let the wild donkeys go free Or why the ostrich flaps her wings Do you give the horses their strength and mane or why they shun no sword or trumpets reign Do you command the eagle to soar or slay his prey Could you fathom that? Is this pain going to take control of me You have to be with me God in your power could you make some sense of this I'm fighting for you only God if I crumble could you take me back to forever So I could love you beyond this
8.
Have you ever been like this before Two lovers on the end of ocean shores So close that you cannot hide On the continents that share no day and night My love it’s alright Maybe I would never be the same So close but yet so far away I'll build us a place in time Beneath the pale moonlight My love it’s alright It’s warm down here on the other side I'm waiting by the phone tonight So come home to me, come home Kookaburra on the old gum tree She sings to a child beneath her wings Don’t worry my love, don’t you cry You're safe with me tonight My love it’s alright It’s warm down here on the other side I'm waiting by the phone tonight So come home to me, come home Tell her I've built a home to stay, and I built it for us
9.
It’s late at night and the people are tired It’s late at night and we're unaware in our sleep It’s late at night and my body is weary It’s late at night I say so carelessly The monster is here Looks just like you've turned me to the darkest thing I've known We won’t last this time and you've turned me to the darkest thing I've known It’s late at night and the silence is tempting It’s late at night and I'm all alone So what's the difference tell me what is the difference If I do or die and give up everything It’s here again Looks just like you've turned me to the darkest thing I've known We won’t last this time and you've turned me to the darkest thing I've known It’s okay We will fight this time Listen to me and beware The monster's coming tonight Listen to me and beware
10.
Fires will break out Come and save me now, alright Fires will break out Come and save me now, alright When the truth is a lie In a world that is brightly lighted by satellites And the darkness that is the sky When the fact of the matter is read out in a letter On a TV screen late at night With the actors and their disguise And I’m trying to back away But you wouldn’t just let me be So leave me alone Set a fire into the night For tomorrow we’ll start a fight To be, to be For the hope that burns in our eyes Oh in our eyes For the fires at night Oh the fires at night In the dead of the night What a terrible silence Of the voices within our minds Are we helpless and tired of trying So help me oh heaven Tear down all the walls Keep me safe with my own device And I’m trying to back away But you wouldn’t just let me be So leave me alone Set a fire into the night For tomorrow we’ll start a fight To be, to be For the hope that burns in our eyes Oh in our eyes For the fires at night Oh the fires at night

Into The Sun 03:42
With the way we are Objects of complex tongues Like the science of a sheer romance Could uncover the conscious man With our hearts beating twice as we run Or do deeds tucked away in the dark As we fall back onto the sand Could we turn back to make amends With the way we are So turn off all the lights The stars they seem so bright They light your saline eyes Now don’t you cringe and hide Just come away with me Awaken from your sleep Through fields of gold, through fields of gold Through fields of gold with me The stars are in your eyes You are beautiful

Candela 03:08
Electricity runs from the top of the ceiling And it runs down through the side of your walls Vermilion glow Like a fire that flickers in your hall Just like me We're all meant to be It's getting over me because in heaven Where I can be free, yeah honey It’s taking over me because in heaven It’s beautiful baby Take this current from the ocean floor Take this power from this Sun of yours Illuminating Like colonies we torch the sky And as we burn We're all meant to be It's getting over me because in heaven Where I can be free, yeah honey It’s taking over me because in heaven It’s beautiful baby
13.
Covenant 08:12
Home This is home I always knew A place where my heart belongs I call it home Do you know? We’ll all be here So take my hand and come with me alone This is home And when your light shines through Underneath your shadow, I’m standing next to you Your strength it covers me Your faithfulness is all I’ll ever need For I am yours Show me what it is all about to live forever In your grace of love that I have found This is what I am living for For someone that I adore You are all I am singing for Because all that I need Is in the presence of the one that I love Who can’t let go This is a miracle This is a miracle for you and me And always meant to be I won’t fear the terror of night I will call your name in the darkest hour of time In prudence, I believe in you I will give my best ‘cause you told me that its true For I am yours Show me what it is all about to live forever In your grace of love that I have found This is what I am living for For someone that I adore You are all I am singing for Because all that I need Is in the presence of the one that I love Who can’t let go This is a miracle This is a miracle for you and me And always meant to be When I fall down you pick me up When I am dry you fill my cup When all is lost and crumbling down You keep me safe in wings of love

Sad, sad so we are together Sad, sad so we are together Now if you'll please be satisfied with me 8:30 on the tick-tock counter Black suit in the morning rush hour So what, so what? He says to her You never believed in us Never believed in us Lovers will be like this Lovers will be the same always And every time you're underestimating me Hold on, hold on Sad, sad so we are together Sad, sad so we are together And if you'll please be satisfied with me You know you know you know It's never enough So what's your story waiting for? So what, so what? He says to her Do you have the strength to be with me? Moments could be like this Moments could be the same always And every time you're underestimating me Hold on, hold on It always should be like this It always should be like this to me

about

For the music, the performance and perhaps, most importantly, the audience, passion is translated into creativity, accessibility, commitment and professionalism. And passion—in one word—sums up The Fire Fight. After two years of hard work, The Fire Fight is proud to release their debut full-length album "Henri".

The Fire Fight blazed onto the local music scene three years ago by earning a coveted performance slot at Baybeats 2007. Since then, they have opened for American indie-rock darlings Anberlin & Copeland, Grammy-nominated alternative rock band Switchfoot and most recently became ambassadors for Youth.SG’s national “Feed Me” campaign.

With the impassioned melodies of Joshua Tan (vocals, guitars), the modest innovative tunes of Jonathan Leong (guitars), the dynamic-compelling rhythms of Iain Tham (drums) and Jbarks (Bass), The Fire Fight combines diverse influences ranging from The Promise Ring and Maritime to Death Cab for Cutie and Jamiroquai to bring you music with a raw, early 90s indie-rock sound with a hint of modern expression.
