[Intro]

Say goodbye to gravity

Say goodbye to sanity

A ray of hope down to the wire (Gone, gone)

Hand me a match, this is a story about fire


[Verse 1]

One by one we sacrificed our pawns

For our queen to play her way

Rooks and knights built a solid wall for her protection

One by one we couldn't go on

To keep the balance between madness and affection

Our queen enchanted everyone, fatal play

One night our queen just walked away


[Pre-Chorus]

Everytime we managed to calm down again

You returned with more poison

Everytime we managed to navigate a while

You filled our souls with more outrage


[Chorus]

(Torch) When the sirens broke down, we were still here

(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility

(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name

Princess of fire, desire, I do remember you


[Verse 2]

Darkness comes at nightfall

This place is quiet and abandoned

Smoke and ember, attest to what we had

Now checkered wasteland

One by one we sacrificed our pawns

To please our queen, fulfill her desire

Our walls have fallen, treasures stolen

Our queen is long long gone, and I dream of fire


[Pre-Chorus]

Everytime we managed to calm down again

You returned with more poison

Everytime we managed to navigate a while

You filled our souls with more outrage


[Chorus]

(Torch) When the sirens broke down, we were still here

(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility

(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name

Princess of fire, desire, I do remember you


[Outro]

When the sirens broke down, we were still here (Torch)

(Torch) Igniting more fires to burn down every responsibility

(Torch) When the towers collapsed, you whispered my name

Princess of fire, desire, I do remember, I do recall
