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
