A great fire

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)
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)
