and Fwave goodGbye to Amyesterday
as I Fdance aCmong the Gflames
[Chorus]
Don't try to Fsave me Cnow
Let the Gwalls of my world all burn Amdown
Just Fstand back and wait 'til the Amsmoke finally passes
and DmI will rise from the Gashes from the ashes Ffrom the CashesG  C  G  
[Verse 2]
For all that I'm ClosingG  
much more I Cwill gainG

With these Fdemons Coff my Gchest
I'm Fborn to Gbe a Amspirit
And Flay the Cold to Grest
