Say goodbye to gravity 
Say goodbye to sanity 

A ray of hope 
Down to the wire 
(Gone, gone) 
Hand me a match 
This is a story about fire 

One by one 
We sacrificed our pawns 
For our queen 
To play her way 
Rooks and knights 
Built a solid wall 
For her protection 

One by one 
We couldn't go on 
To keep the balance between 
Madness and affection 
Our queen enchanted everyone 
Fatal play 
One night 
Our queen just walked away 

Everytime we managed to calm down again 
You returned with more poison 
Everytime we managed to navigate a while 
You filled our souls with more outrage 

(Torch) 
When the sirens broke down 
We were still here 
(Torch) 
Igniting more fires 
To burn down every 
Responsibility 

(Torch) 
When the towers collapsed 
You whispered my name 
Princess of fire 
Desire 
I do remember you 

Darkness comes 
At nightfall 
This place is quiet and abandoned 
Smoke and ember 
Attest to what we had 
Now checkered wasteland 

One by one 
We sacrificed our pawns 
To please our queen 
Fulfill her desire 
Our walls have fallen 
Treasures stolen 
Our queen is long long gone 
And I dream of fire
