The cost to guide your spirit's flight Falls gently from the sky Melting in a pit of fire And that's how I died A pile of thirteen skulls alight Only one survives My descent was sudden, all at once In a moment I was there Then vanished into air I sensed I was heading home Through atmospheres I passed Burning hot, searing fast Through oceans of boiling salt Where sins find their last halt Through the earth's flesh, sinking down My form dissolving around To the sun's far side I reached Before returning complete When I awoke A skull in the stack, unbroke And still the flame burns And the world turns I'm finally home So please Don't go Please don't leave me alone Inspect my bones, you'll find A hollow ghost left behind Seeing things no mortal sees A gift from the first skull, aglow To guide you safely home And still the flame burns And the world turns I'm finally home So please Don't leave Please don't leave me alone
