The Glass Winter (Doubt is the Big Machine Version)

All heroes die eventually
The world is cold
Its heart and soul are slowly spinning gears
And the worst, to lose a child
Beneath the ice are the vapors of heaven and hell

You're laid on these flowers for the fires to devour
You disintegrate and you fade
And you fade

A mother waits at the door watching for a son
For a boy won't - won't be coming home.
And neither God nor the devil are gonna break the rules
Gonna rescue you
The freeway is king tonight

You're laid on these flowers for the fires to devour
You disintegrate and you fade
And you fade
You burn like a beacon to light the horizon
The night is bright as day
We're awake

And the machine, it carries on
It never breaks, it will never pause
Not for the tears of men or gods
Not for the death of an only son
(All my life, the TV lights were burning brighter than the sun)

You're laid on these flowers for the fires to devour
You disintegrate and you fade
And you fade
You burn like a beacon to light the horizon
The night is bright as day
We're awake
