Set me aflame and cast me free
Away, you wretched world of tethers
Always thought that I would stand
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more
Before the faceless name of justice
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again
And if rain brings winds of change

That I have never wanted more
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
With this line I'll mark the past
That I have never wanted more

In this picture stands a man,
Far away, alone and distant
Like a solitary field
In some nameless foreign land
All around the points of light
Start to dim and cease transmitting
And then there was nothing more
Shadows fell on futile games
Through the screams of falling steel
By the light of flares and wisdom

All the doubts I could not face
All this time I wanted more
With a line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
To the gods whose names we've lost
And the names who gave in vain

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more
Set me aflame and cast me free

Through the endless night and day
Away, you wretched world of tethers
I have never wanted more
Always thought that I would stand

Before the faceless name of justice
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again

And if rain brings winds of change
That I have never wanted more
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more

Sever the line to the guilty past,
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war

Lined the roads with hollow praise
Shadows fell on their futile ways
Marked the land with paper statues
And then there was nothing more
