One Thousand Fires - Fates Warning

So, we begin, a perfect launch a perfect wind

Pictures pave the road ahead

A winding way, a silent dread

Then I see

One thousand fires

Like stars they fill my eyes

One thousand fires

Flames burning midnight skies

Caution to wind, we push further to the end

And there she stands, all alone

Her tired eyes, her flesh and bone

And I see

One thousand fires

Like stars they fill my eyes

One thousand fires

Flames burning midnight skies

And it’s never ending, this sky high white night

Feels like I’m descending out of reason

While mountains burn before my eyes

While mountains burn

Winters end is falling beneath ash on the wind

As the March flames take all away

With one glance, I felt her desperate eyes call to me

Then she turned to give herself away

And so we end, as we began so long ago

Pictures fade, the road behind

Still she stands, still she cries
