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
