watch and wave goodbye
it's a hopeless feeling
to know that you and i
are left in a world that's reeling
out of control
we shouldn't fight it
drop into the bowl
we'll pull through bit by bit

we are the lights that will keep on burning
when the darkness comes
in memory we will keep on singing
long after you've been gone

at the point of no return
our sons and daughters
will watch the fires burn
while drinking water
ashes to ashes,
we'll fall but not too far.
through looking glasses
one day we'll see where we are.

we are the lights that will keep on burning
when the darkness comes
in memory we will keep on singing
long after you've been gone

we, we are the lights. we are the ones who will guide the way.
we will bring the fight. our memories will carry on the way.

we are the lights, we will keep on burning.
our memories of a world for which we're yearning.
we are the lights, we are the lights. we are burning down
another night, another fight. are we burning out?

we are the lights that will keep on burning
when the darkness comes
in memory we will keep on singing
long after you've been gone
