A thousand voices screaming in the wake of our pain,
kindling a fire that will burn out today.
Watch as the flames go higher.
Soon they will light my pyre.
Pushing ourselves past the vision of a new age.
The ones who carry on will never forget my name.
The night won’t inherit our days.
It all begins again.
I’ll bury you beside myself.
The gray sky is melting.
The ashes collecting
at our feet, at our feet.
I see past the smokescreen.
Smile while we’re not alone.
The ones who see can never know
the fates we cheat, the debts we owe.
Fatal lie.
I’m alive.
For the last time, I’ll ignite.
Pay my debts.
My last breath.
Pass the fire to who’s next.
I’m hotter than the embers lingering in my soul.
I’m indestructible beyond my withering bones.
Some bonds cannot be severed.
Symbols can live forever.
The veil has finally dropped and we are running on air.
My gravity is fleeting but we’re ending this here.
I’m not ready to disappear.
This isn’t over yet.
I’ll fight until there’s nothing left.
The gray sky is melting.
The ashes collecting
at our feet, at our feet.
I see past the smokescreen.
Smile while we’re not alone.
The ones who see can never know
the fates we cheat, the debts we owe.
Fatal lie.
I’m alive.
For the last time, I’ll ignite.
Pay my debts.
My last breath.
Pass the fire...
Struggling to hold the universe.
Just a little longer.
Miracles don't come without a curse.
The next one will be stronger.
Carry on.
Carry on.
The gray sky is melting.
The ashes collecting
at our feet, at our feet.
I see past the smokescreen.
Smile while we’re not alone.
The ones who see can never know.
The fates we cheat. The debts we owe.
Fatal lie.
I’m alive.
For the last time, I’ll ignite.
Pay my debts.
My last breath.
Pass the fire.
Pass the fire.
Pass the fire.
You’re next.

Six of Crows

This is the city of toxic smoke.
We trade our lungs for a noose of rope.
Under our feet and the tilted ground,
ashes of runaways never found.
Here is where the monsters hide.
Only the wicked can survive.
A girl’s lethal melody.
She just wants to be set free.
She fights among the cursed six of crows.
Who does she fight for, we’ll never know.
A soldier lost everything.
In debt to his enemies.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
What does he fight for, we’ll never know, never know.
Here we are free-falling in the dark
and holding daggers to our hearts.
This could be the gamble of our lives.
But you can’t kill what’s already died.
Let’s light this up anyway
and live to dance in the flames.
A son bound by golden chains.
He just wants to breakaway.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where does he come from, we’ll never know.
A sharpshooter aiming high.
This time, he will get it right.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where does that come from, we’ll never know, never know.
Can you hear the ocean calling?
Leave behind the feathers falling
in our wake as we surrender
all our doubt. Can you remember
what it feels like to be human?
Maybe this is how we’ll lose it all.
We left our souls with the devil where they belong.
Silent footsteps of a ghost.
I think she died long ago.
She fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where is her heart, we may never know.
A boy with a broken soul,
marching through this world alone.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where is his heart, he may never know, never know.

Black and Gold

Sleepless eternity.
All this time we spent healing.
I’m bleeding from old wounds.
Mirrored nightmares scarring you.
Find salvation in your voice.
Don’t let me go. I’ve made my choice.
Wandering flame.
Call my name.
I see you and we’re just the same.
Eyes are black.
Shadowed past.
You see me for who I am.
Midas has touched me.
I want to be worthy.
You are bold.
Beautiful.
Nothing left to turn to gold.
You held my fire.
And you never got burned.
Under this shattered moon
we’ll dance again like we used to.
The truth is in our lungs.
I breathe you in after you’re gone.
We look so different now.
Blistered by Hell, alive somehow.
You found me.
So easy.
I see you and I feel free.
Night is black.
Stars are back.
This is where I’m safe at last.
Midas has touched me.
I want to be worthy.
You are bold.
Beautiful.
Nothing left to turn to gold.
You held my fire.
And you never got burned.
Take my bloody hands.
I know you understand.
I promise I’m with you.
We’ll make it and we’ll prove
we’re bigger than our past
The red will fade to black.
The sunrise turns to gold.
And it’s so beautiful.
Night is black.
Stars are back.
This is where I’m safe at last.
Midas can’t touch us.
We’re all made of stardust.
You are bold.
Beautiful.
And the black has flecks of gold.
Wiser than we were.
We protect each other.

Don't Forget

Thank you for all the bruises on your hands.
They tell the story of a better man.
I wish the afterlife were kind enough
to make a home for us.
You saw the daylight in this dark eclipse.
Gave me a reason to be more than this.
See you through different eyes
when all of this is rectified.
Close your eyes and say goodbye.
Even nameless men should die.
I had to leave my heart behind.
I’m untied.
Lifeline of mine,
sever our ties tonight.
Old friend, come free.
Be the end of me.
Renounce my life.
I’ll be your hero this time.
Look after what I left.
Please don’t forget the rest.
You saw the bloody wings, the broken things, that heaven dealt to me.
But cast away, you called my name, and showed me how to be
somebody deserving of all your pain.
I want to believe you
and rise higher than my fate.
Close your eyes and say goodbye.
Your god of fortune’s gone to die.
I had to leave my heart behind.
We’re untied.
Lifeline of mine,
sever our ties tonight.
Old friend, come free.
Be the end of me.
Renounce my life.
I’ll be your hero this time.
Look after what I left.
Please don’t forget the rest.
Gone astray but not alone.
You’ll stay with me until I’m gone.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na na
Carry all I gave to you.
Light it up after we’re due.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na na
Close your eyes and say goodbye.
Every one of us will die.
I hope you’ll keep my heart inside.
Lifeline of mine,
sever our ties tonight.
Old friend, come free.
Be the end of me.
Renounce my life.
I’ll be your hero this time.
Look after what I left.
Please don’t forget the rest.

Gasoline

I’ve memorized my eulogy,
its edges stained with gasoline.
Robbed beyond our skin and bones.
Six years I’ve spent alone.
One round and we take our shot.
I’m sorry for the ones we lost.
Don’t follow in my trail of blood.
I won’t let you see what I have become.
You’ll find freedom when I’m gone.
(Don’t wait for me. It’s time to run)
I’ll burn with everything we loved.
They brought the fire
Here’s the gasoline.
I’m your selfish liar.
My silence will catch up to me.
I’ll give you all the time I spent
because I still have no regrets.
The better version of myself
now ash and blood and fate misdealt.
Lives are falling through the ground.
And I can’t hear a sound.
Time’s up and I strike a match.
I’m not afraid of who I am.
Return the blood left on my hands.
I’ll be the last to die in Neverland.
Or I’ll follow you instead.
Take back the dreams they painted red.
They brought the fire
Here’s the gasoline.
I’m your selfish liar.
My sacrifice will set you free.
We have found a bittersweet hell.
But I know fire all too well.
You are all the good in me.
I’ll be the weapon that you need.
Count each breath until our last.
We’re children who grew up too fast.
And we are somehow alive.
In a world we have denied.
Burn it up before the dawn.
They’ll find the ashes when we’re gone.
They brought the fire
Here’s the gasoline.
I’m your selfish liar.
Our sacrifice will set us free.
We are shadows of who we were.
But we won’t be taken under.

Ghost

How are we such strangers now?
Broken history so far down.
Do you recognize all the ways that I’ve tried to make you proud?
Can you see me through the lies?
A final oath between our lives.
Golden ichor running from the wound I carved across your eyes.
If I forsake morning light
will you promise not to die?
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
Arrows forged in blood and fire.
One true confession from a liar.
Tear me open, watch me bleed as heaven’s flames ignite my pyre.
Handprint bruises on my skin
of who I was and where I’ve been.
Bury me under the name of my rebirth before my sins.
If I learn to speak at last
Can you forgive my bloody past?
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
Bloodstained promise save me now
Just another path for me to fall down, down.
I can’t be the person you deserve.
I keep on fighting even though it hurts. Ooh.
Your light, so divine.
I can’t close my eyes.
The ghost of who you thought I was
lost itself free-falling under the sun.
I wear too many names.
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray
Take what’s left of me.
There’s only so much a traitor can be.
Please, lend me your strength.
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest.
