lyrics

When the firestorm falls on these city lights, All that you’ve known has turned to ash, The faintest sounds on these windy nights, reminding you off the distant past. All the men out there working hardened nights, trading their love, while they're searching for gold, All they wanted was an honest life, Now they end up doing what they’re told. The change has been led, By many other men, those across the river, and the ones before, now effortlessly I expire into the night. Into the night…We want a life worth living, They gave us all that we need, Our souls have all gone missing, They’re waiting to be free, When the firestorm falls on these city lights, All that you’ve known has turned to ash...The change has been led, By many other men, those across the river, and the ones before, now effortlessly I expire...into the night! Into the night…I go, We want a life worth living, They gave us all that we need, Our souls have all gone missing, They’re waiting to be free, (Are you ready for what's to come, Are you ready for what must be done), Effortlessly I expire...into the night.
