The fire's burning

But the heat is gone

The heart remains, the blood is still

I can't keep this going

I can't keep this going

The shape of man is hard to mold

I can't be just what I'm told

Thousands of years

Behind my back

Is this what I am?

Is this what I am?

A fly on a crumbling wall

Watching the whole world fall

Beautiful endings aren't in sight

I'll only find them when I die

But that's just another sad story

(sad story, sad story)

The sun is shining but there's no light

The car is running but I still can't drive

Why the long face, you won't care in time

Such a fine joke

[x4]

Thousands of years

Behind my back

Is this what I am?

Is this what I am now, baby?

Rite of the sun

Burnt to a crisp

As blood is drained

From the wrist

Rite of the sun

Burning our dreams

Burnt down, ender's vow

Burn our dreams

A fly on a crumbling wall

Watching the whole world fall

The fire's burning

But the heat is gone

The heart remains, the blood is still

I can't keep this going
