Think of the world we forgot about
Look at the walls we built
Look at them now as they're burning down
So we sit back, taking it all in
Deep breath, keeping it in our lungs
The deception's finally faded
All clear, now that the smoke is gone
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
Brushed off the ashes and faced the night
Offered the past as a sacrifice
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
Think of the hand you hold
Think of the heat that it takes to make gold
I look in your eyes and get lost in your love
So we sit back, taking it all in
All clear, now that the smoke is gone
It's gone, it's gone, long gone
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
Brushed off the ashes and faced the night
Offered the past as a sacrifice
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
Kneeling down into the earth
See the flame for what it's worth
In time we'll breathe again
But we can make this house a home
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
Brushed off the ashes and faced the night
Offered the past as a sacrifice
We stepped out of the fire and into the light
