A Great Fire lyrics

Burning down

We can't stop it

We gotta get out

Start again

The memories are gone forever

Don't try

To turn this around on me

I'm the one that saved you

This was my home

This was my life

It's not always just about you

And as I heard

The sirens begin to chime

I can feel my heart begin to race

I can see through the flames

That the fire cleanses me

Mind and soul now the same

And my body guides the way

I threw you over my shoulder

With the angel

On my other

I'm not your hero

I'll never be

What you wanted

What you thought I would be

I can see through the flames

That the fire cleanses me

Mind and soul now the same

And my body guides the way

I can see through my tired eyes

My sickness controls me

Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)

Is the mother of deceit

(Is the mother of deceit)

And there you were

Six years old, ashes in your hair

You're not scared

You've seen so much pain in so few years

As the world

Becomes a place where no one wants to stay

We remain

Silent until it's too late

And as I see

The planes take over the sky

I can feel it coming to the end

I can see through the flames

That the fire cleanses me

Mind and soul now the same

And my body guides the way (and you're burning)

I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly)

My sickness controls me (I know in my heart)

Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)

Is the mother of deceit

(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)
