I gave the stars away... I let the darkness wear my name... I thought I'd die inside your flames... But something in me never changed. I built a kingdom out of broken dreams Put my faith in things I'd never seen I chased your shadow through the pouring rain And called it love while drowning in the pain You wore your halo like a loaded gun We were two lost souls pretending we were one I gave you everything I had inside While something beautiful in me slowly died And all the letters that I never sent Still burn like echoes of what we meant I heard the angels calling through the night But I was too far gone to see the light I BECAME THE FIRE! WHEN YOU LEFT ME IN THE FLAMES! YOU CAN KEEP THE ASHES! YOU CAN NEVER TAKE MY NAME! I WAS LOST IN HEAVEN! I WAS DROWNING IN YOUR HELL! BUT THE MAN YOU LEFT IN PIECES IS THE ONE YOU'LL NEVER BREAK! I BECAME THE FIRE! I BECAME THE FIRE! Oh-oh-oh! You couldn't bury me! Oh-oh-oh! You only set me free! I saw the devil dancing in your eyes A beautiful disaster in disguise We had the kind of love that kills the night Two wild hearts that never learned to fight I sent my last goodbye into the sky Watched all our memories burn and die And somewhere underneath the wreckage deep I found the part of me you couldn't keep No more waiting at your door No more bleeding on the floor You had my heart, you had your chance Now watch me rise from where I stand! I BECAME THE FIRE! WHEN YOU LEFT ME IN THE FLAMES! YOU CAN KEEP THE ASHES! YOU CAN NEVER TAKE MY NAME! I WAS LOST IN HEAVEN! I WAS DROWNING IN YOUR HELL! BUT THE MAN YOU LEFT IN PIECES IS THE ONE YOU'LL NEVER BREAK! I BECAME THE FIRE! I BECAME THE FIRE! Maybe I was born to lose Maybe I believed your every truth Maybe every scar was meant to stay To show me who I am today I don't need your heaven anymore I don't need to be what I was before You thought the ending was the end of me... BUT YOU WERE WRONG! I LOST THE LOVE! I LOST THE DREAM! I LOST THE MAN I USED TO BE! BUT FROM THE ASHES! FROM THE PAIN! I BUILT A WORLD YOU CAN'T DESTROY AGAIN! I BECAME THE FIRE! I WAS BORN AGAIN IN FLAMES! YOU CAN KEEP THE ASHES! BUT YOU'LL NEVER OWN MY NAME! I WAS LOST IN HEAVEN! I WAS DROWNING IN YOUR HELL! NOW I'M EVERYTHING YOU FEARED AND MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER TELL! I BECAME THE FIRE! NOTHING LEFT TO SET ALIGHT! I WAS BROKEN BY THE DARKNESS! NOW I'M BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT! I BECAME THE FIRE! I BECAME THE FIRE! You thought you were my ending... But you were only the beginning. I didn't disappear... I became the fire.
