lyrics

I was looking for the good,
In a fire that burned my house down,
Was a light that led the way,
From my cold and lonely hometown

But now I'm growing up,
I see anew by starlight,
The monster in the embers,
Will not be stopped by night,
So I turn to lonely flight,

By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,

Every word is knives,
In the land where empire started,
In the graveyard of the future,
Where the island's soul departed,

And your father told you lies,
About where to find your heartbeat,
So you play the game of progress,
Where there's only win or cheat,
I'll embrace my first defeat,

By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,

And while the fire's still burning,
I will wait beside the flames,
To make sure that there's nothing left,
Of these old and bloody games,
And every twisted empire,
That fell in ages past,
Proves time's final whisper,
Time's noblest offspring is the last,

By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,
