Set me aflame and cast me free

Away you wretched world of tethers

Through the endless night and day

I have never wanted more.

Always thought that I would stand

Before the faceless name of Justice

Like some law unto myself

Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change

Let it rain on us forever

I have no doubts from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

With this line I'll mark the past

As a symbol of beginning

I have no doubt from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

In this picture stands a man

Far away, alone and distant

Like a solitary field

In some nameless foreign land.

All around him points of light

Start to dim and cease transmitting

Shadows fell on futile games

And then there was nothing more.

Through the screams of falling steel

By the light of flares and wisdom

All the doubts I could not face

All this time I wanted more.

With a line I mark the past

As a symbol of beginning

To the gods whose names we've lost

And the names who gave in vain.

And if rain brings winds of change

Let it rain on us forever

I have no doubts from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

With this line I'll mark the past

As a symbol of beginning

I have no doubt from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

Set me aflame and cast me free

Away you wretched world of tethers

Through the endless night and day

I have never wanted more.

Always thought that I would stand

Before the faceless name of Justice

Like some law unto myself

Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change

Let it rain on us forever

I have no doubts from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

With this line I'll mark the past

As a symbol of beginning

I have no doubt from what I've seen

I have never wanted more.

Sever the line to the guilty past

To the ones who brought us nothing

Spoke of futures brave and proud

And brought only have and war.

Line the roads with hollow praise

Mark the land with paper statues

Shadows fell on their futile ways

And then there was nothing more.
