Our fire is growing cold
Embers covered in soot
We wait in silence, watching
Waiting for that last spark to darken

As we ponder days spent
Drowning in memories of a time long gone
We die

But in this death, the blaze ignites!
We cast aside these hard shells of ash,
And like a phoenix we rise!

For this new life is a second chance
One without ties or bonds
Nothing holding us together but a distant memory

In this I say, so long my friends
If fate be kind, let our roads cross

So long my friends
Our fire is growing cold
Embers covered in soot
We wait in silence, watching
Waiting for that last spark to darken

As we ponder days spent
Drowning in memories of a time long gone
We die

But in this death, the blaze ignites!
We cast aside these hard shells of ash,
And like a phoenix we rise!

For this new life is a second chance
One without ties or bonds
Nothing holding us together but a distant memory

In this I say, so long my friends
If fate be kind, let our roads cross
At least one more time
