Song 5: “After the Fire”
We stood in the fire, we didn’t breakBut when it was over, all we could takeWas the ashes left in the cold night airA love burned down, a love stripped bare
We fought the flames, but they fought us backNow we’re standing in the smoke, turning blackI thought we’d survive, thought we’d stayBut after the fire, we’re slipping away
After the fire, nothing remainsJust the scars and the broken chainsWe were a blaze, burning so brightBut after the fire, we’ve lost the fightAfter the fire, we’re just the dustOf a love that once was built on trustWe gave it all, but we couldn’t stayAfter the fire, we’re fading away
The heat of us, it took us highBut we couldn’t stop the flames in the skyWe were reckless, we were wildBut after the fire, we’re just a child
We fought the flames, but they fought us backNow we’re standing in the smoke, turning blackI thought we’d survive, thought we’d stayBut after the fire, we’re slipping away
After the fire, nothing remainsJust the scars and the broken chainsWe were a blaze, burning so brightBut after the fire, we’ve lost the fightAfter the fire, we’re just the dustOf a love that once was built on trustWe gave it all, but we couldn’t stayAfter the fire, we’re fading away
We thought we’d rise from the ash and flameBut we lost ourselves in the deadly gameNow all that’s left is smoke and tearsAfter the fire, we face our fears
After the fire, nothing remainsJust the scars and the broken chainsWe were a blaze, burning so brightBut after the fire, we’ve lost the fightAfter the fire, we’re just the dustOf a love that once was built on trustWe gave it all, but we couldn’t stayAfter the fire, we’re fading away
After the fire, we’re nothing but scarsA love burned down, left in the stars.
