Set me aflame and cast me free
Away, you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more
Always thought that I would stand
Like some law unto myself,
Before the faceless name of justice
Like a child of God again
Let it rain on us forever
And if rain brings winds of change
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
That I have never wanted more
I have no doubt from what I've seen
In this picture stands a man,
Like a solitary field
Far away, alone and distant
All around the points of light
In some nameless foreign land
Start to dim and cease transmitting
Shadows fell on futile games
And then there was nothing more
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
That I have never wanted more
I have no doubt from what I've seen
With this line I'll mark the past
I have no doubt from what I've seen
As a symbol of beginning
That I have never wanted more
Set me aflame and cast me free
Away, you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
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
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more
As a symbol of beginning
With this line I'll mark the past
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
Marked the land with paper statues
Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more
