The Raven Age - Fireflies lyrics

Quiet the drone in the distance approaches We hide, and hope they pass us by Waiting in silence, praying they won’t find us And maybe they’ll spare us our lives Just maybe they’ll spare us our lives Desolate village of sorrow and anguish I stare upon what once was home Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes And now I’ve got nowhere to go And now we’ve got nowhere to go Now, as the fire rains down from thе sky I see the love disappear from hеr eyes I’ve seen the hearts of our people all change like the wind A helping hand, I cannot find Hold on We’ll find a place to call our home Nevermore, will you cry Together we’ll live on alone Life or death We will not live forever, or did you forget? Selflessness bereft, you looked the other way As we are left for dead Gone are the tears of the innocent child Each day you’re cursed watching her fading smile You must be brave little sister I’ll swallow my pride, whatever it takes to survive Be strong The fireflies will light the way Never stop, carry on You are the life in me today Life or death We will not live forever, or did you forget? Selflessness bereft, you looked the other way As we are left for dead As the flame begins The blackened rain turns out a beautiful display of hatred Nothing left Beneath the flames of where my love was laid to rest Sleep, little one all your nightmares are gone Rest in peace, and be free of your pain For you I will fight one more day Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting Reminds me of my mistakes How do I live with myself My conscious says I sent you to an early grave Have I sent you to an early grave Mother and father Will dry your eyes Now that you sleep with The fireflies Mother and father Will dry your eyes Now that you sleep with The fireflies
