The word is turning, slowly turning All the while I've been burning, slowly burning It seems that everything has burst into flames Although the fire is mine it refuses to be tamed No matter how hard I try, some things will never be the same I must keep moving along, I must remain sane The fire grows rapidly, the surrounding turn to ashes Not a single soul could be saved with even the quickest reactions The building up in smoke are crumbling to the ground I sit upon the hilltop knowing it's all been destroyed without a sound All alone off in the distance, waiting so patiently to be found There's no need to worry, eventually someone will come around Wondering who will be my savior and where they might be I rest against the only thing left, the last, lonely tree Just me, myself and I left with the lonley tree and our misery Looking away from the destruction, the only savior is me

Looking Out From Inside the Fire
The word is turning, slowly turning All the while I've been burning, slowly burning It seems that everything has burst into flames Although the fire is mine it refuses to be tamed No matter how hard I try, some things will never be the same I must keep moving along, I must remain sane The fire grows rapidly, the surrounding turn to ashes Not a single soul could be saved with even the quickest reactions The building up in smoke are crumbling to the ground I sit upon the hilltop knowing it's all been destroyed without a sound All alone off in the distance, waiting so patiently to be found There's no need to worry, eventually someone will come around Wondering who will be my savior and where they might be I rest against the only thing left, the last, lonely tree Just me, myself and I left with the lonley tree and our misery Looking away from the destruction, the only savior is me
