Once the dawn rose, and I with it
You, in me, came along
And we watched the world awake from atop this peak
You sang a song
My heart, in me, burned like the sun
Never had I felt its like before
A star, in my chest, in my throat, in my mind
In me
And I in it, and it was you
And I was burnt alive, down to cinders, ash
The dawn rose, in me
And set, and died

Once the dawn rose, and I with it
You, in me, came along
And we watched the world awake from atop this peak
You sang a song
My heart, in me, burned like the sun
Never had I felt its like before
A star, in my chest, in my throat, in my mind
In me
And I in it, and it was you
And I was burnt alive, down to cinders, ash
The dawn rose, in me
And set, and died
