I start to regret
That sin which i couldnt forget
How many were here
Though after i never shed a tear
So many i had killed
While i simply stood still
The fire that killed them
But i should have been one of them
They can never come back
Because of the power i lack
After i die
I will pay for it no matter how much i cry
The world under it will be
Instead of the one i always hoped to see.
An eternity i will have
But burning will be all that will last
