My eyes are filled with light

My feet can’t touch the ground

From up here I can see the sights

of my hometown city burning down



Now its blazes follow me house by house

and my legs they buckle under me

but I don’t mind, I’ll sing the old song of joy

for I know why and why it had to be



Higher higher flames grow higher

Erase my name from your lips as we kiss

Higher higher the flames go higher

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list



Now I’m driving on those familiar streets

I know all their names, I know where to turn

All the while I kept a road map in my head

I just came back to see the people and their houses burn



Higher higher flames grow higher now

Erase my name from your lips as they kiss

Higher higher the flames go higher

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list

Flames grow higher Flames grow higher

Erase my name from your lips as they kiss

Higher higher the flames grow higher

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list

Now there’s one soul less on your fiery list



One soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list



Hometown farewell

Hometown farewell

Hometown farewell

Hometown farewell kiss
