I wish there was a way for you not to die tonight
But every amber of light burns itself to ash and slowly fades away
We thought we had it right when we buried you away for awhile
But we found an empty hole and a parade of soldiers floating to the sky
You were much more than a myth, how your body dissolved into the sea
And I never knew if I should kiss your feet or rip apart your limbs and dedahdedah
It’s really much too strange to believe that you could love everyone
And when you showed me how it would end it was more than I could comprehend so I lit you on fire dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadaaaaaaaaaa
You said, “It’s true we never die-
We dissolve as our bodies collide
With the earth and the shit and the dirt and the trees and the flies,
But before you get there you need to learn to survive,
And the flames in your heart, they grow so incredibly high”
And we sing la dee da dee da dee da dee da dee da...
