The Fires

[3:13pm - Saturday, March 19, 2011]

Getting lost in time.
No way to stop and rewind.
Hanging onto hope with a grain of sand.
Together, it CAN be done.
Just take this outstretched hand.
Don't leave me bruised and broken.
Leave words left unspoken.

Into the sun, baby, let's run.
They'll never understand.
We'll battle against the demons of the world.
It's only our bridges that'll burn.
So light it up.
Let the fires burn.

Come into the shadows.
No need to fear.
They can't find us here.
Danger is just an obstacle.
It's simple to overcome.
With you here, what do I have to lose?
My sanity is behind me.
My heart is beside me.
Nothing left to do but run.

Into the sun, baby, let's run.
Maybe now it's clear to them.
The spell we're under has consumed me entirely.
This battle has been won.
We're now the champions.
So long to our past.
Let the fires burn.

Nothing can take this away.
There's no way of knowing our fate.
Just cradle me softly and hang on to my words.
We can overcome this curse.
Outbid the odds.
Against the world.
Light loves flame, baby.
Let the fires burn.
Let them lead us home.
