A Great Fire

[Intro]
Burning down
We can't stop it, we got to get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And as I heard
The sirens begin to chime
I can feel my heart begin to race

[Chorus 1]
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way

[Chorus 2]
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!)

[Bridge]
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!

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And as I see
The planes take over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end

[Chorus 1]
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!)

[Chorus 2]
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!
