Is it showing?
I try to hold it all inside
I feel the fire growing
The inferno shows through my eyes
Scorching my heart from the inside out
Nowhere to hide when the blaze comes from within
The beginning of a defining bout
We'll all take a breathe as the countdown begins
I'll brace myself as the sparks take hold
As the old turns to dust
Cauterize these gaping wounds closed
The sky showers ashes upon us
As smoke fills our lungs and blocks out the sun
Flesh falls to the ground
Can't you feel it all coming undone?
Your ears will bleed from the sound
The flames will consume us all
As a thousand cries erupt in the night
The pyre will grow as the buildings fall
Through the sea of flames I can see the deliverance of twilight
A new world forms
A new face shines through
Within the whirling walls of this firestorm
Reborn in the embers and feeling brand new
The ashes of yesterday will blow away
The pain of the past will fade
But we will never forget the day
That our souls were bathed in the heatwave.
