[Verse]

Keeping your heart alight

Burning in your hands so gently

Embers surround the night

Fireflies flicker aplenty

Wrapped in the glowing haze

Thinking about the days

Under the pillow case

Into the colder place

Lying under the bridge

Crying as you held me closely

Holding your hand like this

I've never felt so cozy

Black as the ocean tide

Sinking into the floor

Feels like a winter night

Starting to thaw


[Verse 2]

Walking across the lake

Frozen as you lay upon it

Feel the ice start to break

Sinking in the darknеss of it

Fallen into the caves

Watching thе crystals glow

Huddle your freezing frame

Thinking about your home

Silence surrounds the air

Lonely in this glowing cavern

Embers are everywhere

Heart begins to shine like lanterns

Holding your heart in hand

Feeling it beat quicker

Glowing in Neverland

Watch as it flickers


[Bridge]

A: Do you remember? This cave was where we first met

B: How can you be so happy? Our world is Ending soon

A: What was your life like before you fell to Crystalia?

C: Give it up Luness, he'll never get it

B: W-What's happening to me?

A: Listen to me. You must remember who you were before the distortion war. You must forget about me... forget about all of us!

B: I could never do that, because you're my friends! I'd rather stand by and watch the World End!

C: Then we'll watch the last flames of Crystalia die out

A: It'll never die out

B: What are you talking about?

A: I see our future in your heart... It Flickers


[Chorus]

Howling, cold winds

Rain pours cave sins

Cold place, moon phase

Cinders, It flickers

You and I

At that time

Believed we

Could make a new tomorrow

In the rain

The coldness

Bites my neck

And feeds upon my sorrow

Every night

The sky lights

Overhead

And shines down

On this city

All alone

In this world

You wished for

Why couldn't

You be with me

In my heart

I tried to

Fight against

The gear of

Fate you set there

Couldn't change

The future

Only took

The path that

Lead to despair

Can't hold back

The homesick

Feeling grow-

Ing as i'm

Feeling sicker

Lying in this

Burning city

Smiling as

I watch it flicker
