When we're gone
The sun remains the same
When we're gone
The earth rotates the same
You're a firefly
Approaching light of day
You're a super star
Burning to fade away

Uncertain roads ahead
But still there's no return
No solace in the past
A lifetime to unlearn
If all I sought was dreams
Just covering my tracks
Obviously oblivious
Through heavenly hells and back

I face the great unknown
As strange as it may seem
The city spoke to me
Of capitals of dreams
And labyrinths of glass
In grids of million mirrors
Entire universes
Within us

In your fire
I purify my soul
Keep me close
And never let me go

I face your great unknown
Surrender to the fate
Bestowed upon my soul
Like shackles of gold
And everywhere I turn
The world anticipates
When I'm gone
