The fire went out today
From the warm crimson rain
The birds with the songs they sing
They're singing the strangest things
The wind comes to a halt
A momentary stillness
The silence dulls the pain
From the warm, crimson rain
Enter black smoke
It cascades over the bodies
There's a hacking cough that echoes
It breaks through with painful sorrows
And all seems lost
Neither hope nor love will save you
From this fury and this gnashing
This hateful, vengeful clashing
The fire's racing back
And the memory's fading faster
And the hope that kills us disappears
And the hope that kills us disappears
And all we have now
Is the fire coming to cleanse us
And the rain to wash our sins away
May god have mercy on you
The fire went out today
From the warm, crimson rain
