All secrets and lies, let them out

But how can we give back to those, with whom we can't live
When will the flame break and spare the good people it takes

Awe, souls escape fire, they rise higher, souls escape fire, they rise higher

Gentle moon, find us soon, gentle moon, find us soon (repeat till fade out)
