death begets life

[Intro] They die with a smile on their face; in their hands a Joker, a King and an Ace. They die with a bitter smile on their face; make sure their sacrifice is not in vain. [Verse 1] Embers of blazes long gone try to remain, try to pursue the dreams they used to chase, a reckoning is long overdue. [Pre-chorus] In the dream of a scorched earth, under an ashen sky, A new shoot sprouted, where the old had died. Whispers in the wind, carry the will they lost to reach new heights, to keep living on. [Chorus] Like fireflies to a flame death begets life. With each breath they take fade the suffering and the lies. [Verse 2] A legacy threatens to come undone before the trailblazer takes their due. Tick tock, the hands of the clock herald the end of the untruths. [Pre-chorus] In the dream of a scorched earth, under an ashen sky, A new shoot sprouted, where the old had died. Whispers in the wind, carry the will they lost to reach new heights, to keep living on. [Chorus] Like fireflies to a flame death begets life. With each breath they take fade the suffering and the lies. [Bridge] Up and up (they make their way) hand in hand, the cavalry and the path-maker, into the unknown they venture, go together. Side by side, they chase the morning star. [Chorus] Like fireflies to a flame death begets life. With each breath they take fade the suffering and the lies. [Outro] "May we meet again in reality" she said to whom in so short a time became so dear. Just like life begets death, likes call to like, it goes from ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.
