My eyes are filled with life
My feet can't touch the ground
From up here I can see the sights
Of my hometown city burning down
Now it blazes for me house by house
And my legs they buckle under me
But I don't mind, I'll sing the old song of joy
For I know why and why it had to be
Higher, higher; flames grow higher
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher, higher; now flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now I drive along those familiar streets
I know it all, bearing names, now I know where to turn
All this while I kept a roadmap in my head
I just came back to see the people in their houses burn
Higher, higher; flames grow higher now
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher, higher; flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Flames grow higher and higher
Flames grow higher
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher, higher; flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
One soul less on your fiery list...
One soul less on your fiery list...
One soul less on your fiery list...
One soul less on your fiery list...
One soul less on your fiery list...
One soul less on your fiery list...
Hometown farewell, now
Hometown farewell
Hometown farewell
Hometown farewell kiss.
