[Intro]
Say goodbye to gravity
Say goodbye to sanity
A ray of hope down to the wire (Gone, gone)
Hand me a match, this is a story about fire
[Verse 1]
One by one we sacrificed our pawns
For our queen to play her way
Rooks and knights built a solid wall for her protection
One by one we couldn't go on
To keep the balance between madness and affection
Our queen enchanted everyone, fatal play
One night our queen just walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
Everytime we managed to calm down again
You returned with more poison
Everytime we managed to navigate a while
You filled our souls with more outrage
[Chorus]
(Torch) When the sirens broke down, we were still here
(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility
(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name
Princess of fire, desire, I do remember you
[Verse 2]
Darkness comes at nightfall
This place is quiet and abandoned
Smoke and ember, attest to what we had
Now checkered wasteland
One by one we sacrificed our pawns
To please our queen, fulfill her desire
Our walls have fallen, treasures stolen
Our queen is long long gone, and I dream of fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Everytime we managed to calm down again
You returned with more poison
Everytime we managed to navigate a while
You filled our souls with more outrage
[Chorus]
(Torch) When the sirens broke down, we were still here
(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility
(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name
Princess of fire, desire, I do remember you
[Outro]
When the sirens broke down, we were still here (Torch)
(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility
(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name
Princess of fire, desire, I do remember, I do recall
