Fire’s everywhere, fire on her hair

Fire’s don’t you dare, beware of this… blaze

Fire’s everywhere, fire on her hair

Fire’s don’t you dare, come for this… blaze

[Final Chorus]

One day, we’ll fade

One day, you’ll know

One day, I’ll see

One day, I’ll go

One day, we’ll fade

One day, you’ll know,

One day, I’ll see,

See? See what?

WE’RE ON FUCKING FIRE, BABY!!!

[…]

ABLAZE!

The world is ours and lit up in your –

FACE!

Youdon’t notice us, we’re everywhere and we –

AMAZE! You, RAISED you

So all that’s left to do is

PRAISE! While we –

ABLAZE! Let’s drown out these days

And fill the oceans with fire

Chapter Twenty-Seven

[And the crowd was loud, so loud, that some of the crew blocked their ears. In all the years that Ryden had been performing, his team had never seen natural born talent such as his.He was born to be a rock star, they whispered.Look at his crowd work, they admired. “This is all for YOU!” Ryden screamed to the abyss.

And yet.

Every so often, he’d turn his head.

A slight nod to the band behind him, but further back near the curtain, a girl withblazingred hair, a smile so bright and brown eyes locked on his green, watched.

“This is all forYOU!” Ryden would repeat again.
