Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I am sad.
In the fire I lie, do I fall, do I fly?
So hard to move in the flames of the night
Watching the dust as it falls
And it settles on my fate
There's no sound now in the quiet
It's just me and my thoughts
And they scream out saying nothing
And I'm bound, ohhhh
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I'd died and ended up in Hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things can happen anywhere
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I'd died and ended up in Hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
