I fight the future with a clenched fist
(I fight the future with my sins)
I stand alone as I stand around
(Watch as I...fall to the ground)
NOOOOOOOOO
What if the fire lights?
And burns away the darkest nights?
tends our bones with dirty ashes
and sends us home with bloodied gashes
I see the world as it slowly turns
(I rub the wounds comprised of old burns)
They tell me: "That fire is clean"
(They tell me: I'm torn from the seams)
NOOOOOOOOO
What if the fire lights?
And burns away the darkest nights?
tends our bones with dirty ashes
and sends us home with bloodied gashes
I howl to the moon
not the sun
I live by the pen, not the gun
Yet all things will slowly change
(and you know: my pride will hang)
No........No.........No.........No.....NOOOOO
What if the fire lights?
And burns away the darkest nights?
tends our bones with dirty ashes
and sends us home with bloodied gashes
