Lyrics
World In Ashes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The great dragon, little horn is looking for me
Must I obey?
What does the serpent say?
Like he walked on water
I can make this land dry
He turned blind into seeing
I'll show them all, the wrath of the sun
Burn their homes to the ground
Desperately cutting corners
Painting deep blood red skies
This inferno grows colder
A cheap sacrifice
Right where I stand
Raising castles of sand
Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a world in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for the sun
In a land of the furious
I will sow the first seeds
While the tree's growing taller
The apple is there out of my reach
Teasing my undying greed
Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a world in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for the sun
Do you fear the dark as I fear the living?
Will the lies unfold?
Will you stop believing?
Let the world burn
All around me
Just say the word
Pyromaniac love
The sun will set as I begin to fall
Asleep like this winter
I'm cold
Falling through the darkness
Waiting
For you
Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a world in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for
The sun will set as I begin to fall
Asleep like this winter
I'm cold
Falling through the darkness
Waiting
