Cities on Fire

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
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
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
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
