Set aflame my folded wings
where once my sad heart beat
just ashes now and dust to dust
all fallen at my feet
i remember once before
and time and time again
but remembrance is a fleeting cure
a sad world of pretend
i have seen the lights blink out
the tears within youre eyes
i have seen a world reborn
and i have watched it die
And my world is on fire
but i watch becuse i must
my last hope
has gone into the flames
just ashes now and dust to dust
