I swept through the wastelands Searching for you And now my chest tightens As you cross the room
Your breath burns my neck now As you whisper my name It burns more intensely Than these cities in flames
**Chorus I The world split asunder And tore you away And I fought forever For this very day **
The sky is the color Of red death and despair Still I dreamt of your blue eyes And the scent of your hair
The scars that I bear now Are worth all the pain To hold you here tightly In this city in flames
**Chorus II The world split asunder And tore you away And I fought forever For this very day
Through ashes and heartache Through valleys and spires I braved hell just to be here In these cities on fire **
As the world came down around us And it all ended in fire I fought so hard to be by your side Now that we're together I'd even fight the flames They burn like my love And we'll never be the same
