[Intro]
Don't wake me up from my nightmares
Because it's always much worse
The truth never sealed my fate
(The truth) The truth, it sealed my mind

[Verse 1]
I'm getting good at swapping one pain for another
And cache the truth deep down in my chest
I just hoped for a chestburster-free life
But then came the day, the day of reckoning
I could feel thousands of heartbeats
In this city, just flatline
Simultaneously incinerated
By the conflagration of our enemies

[Pre-Chorus]
I was alone at the frontline
The sin was too bright to understand
I was alone at the frontline
Dancing to the bitter tunes of silence

[Chorus]
Fire doesn't cleanse, it blackens
And my soul is the darkest of them all
From the blaze that torched our nation
My rage will dissolve this prison wall
[Verse 2]
Would you eat the fruit growing at a graveyard?
It most likely tastes perfectly fine
But the fact it's infused with the death of many
Will always gnaw at the back of your head

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone and everything I ever loved
Was no more, there was nothing left
Our birthright trampled and defiled
By assailants constructed by man’s hand

[Chorus]
Fire doesn't cleanse, it blackens
And my soul is the darkest of them all
From the blaze that torched our nation
My rage will dissolve this prison wall
And the survivors will feel it resonate
As it expands and travels through the city streets
Our jailers will collide with our united hate
And it won't let go until their life force depletes

[Bridge]
You caged me
But when the hourglass strikes death
My liege will come for me
And he'll render you a killustration
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Fire doesn't cleanse, it blackens
And my soul is the darkest of them all
From the blaze that torched our nation
My rage will dissolve this prison wall
And the survivors will feel it resonate
As it expands and travels through the city streets
Our jailers will collide with our united hate
And it won't let go until their life force depletes

[Outro]
If one does not know to which port one is sailing
No wind is favorable
We know exactly where we need to be
And the winter gale will take us there
