Crying in the still of the night

A yearning for shelter

Silence kissing your wounds

Soothing your pain

Darkness - and what do they know

'Bout losing direction

Clutch at a straw

Cherish the hope

To make it finally home

Home

Home

Home

Home

Home

You long to be see-through

So nobody can tell

Whenever they made you

Bleed your pride away

Now you're driven by a one-track mind

Initiating you

Splendid flowers

Blossom from the wounds

The stronger the poison

The sweeter smells the bloom

Don't you try to stand your ground

Cause you're only coming home

To the heart of fire

You're home - found asylum

In a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass

I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire

In a world where the broken dance

With shattered dreams

It's burning inside you

This emotional hell

And you keep on smiling

Upon the icy tiles

A stream of fire

To sweep the fears away

Seems like forever

Too long you've had to wait

Plunge in darkness

For wicked harmony

Little angel thrown away

Sure'll be back another day

To the heart of fire

You're home - found asylum

In a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass

I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire

In a world where the broken dance

With shattered dreams

Now see the cornered children

I see them off the beaten track

Embracing and crying

Freezing and dying

Concealed humiliation

Now let them dance

Liberation cruelty-free

Dance towards the gallows-tree

Bogyman was sought and found

Bogyman has found a home

In the heart of fire

He's found the asylum

In a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass

Fire - ruins and fire - and fire

In a world where the broken dance

With shattered dreams

Heart of fire

You're home - found asylum

In a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass

I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire

In a world where the broken dance

With shattered dreams
