Far From Heaven

Listen closely, children, there's a lesson you must learn

Where we stand, the past was present
Passed us fast, our paths unpleasant
One with every hope there was
And two who fought when one was gone
The cold one's burning with thrones becoming pyres
Last one standing, no anger never crying
An ancient chapter, and now you answer to me

I'll do what I must
So that all's well when I'm gone, oh-oh, oh-oh
Drawing the line, standing tall
Smoke in your lungs
And here we are

So show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, you'll learn we're far from heaven
Far from heaven now

Wolves and sheep, a cycle, can't run free
Take it from me
Don't believe in a mother's cruelty
So prove you're worthy
Whoa, in praise of shadows
A red death casts a stone
With strength and your strength alone
Defend your home, it's burning (it's burning)

I'll protect you, care for you
Even if I'd hate to let you know
Reflected in you
Is a face that I lost long ago

So show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now (oh-oh-oh)
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, you'll learn we're far from heaven
Far from heaven now

(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)

Everlasting in the wake of
Blaze and ruin, lights are dancing
Just as you said
Casting shadows on these chains of mine

Show your conviction to the king, do me proud
Father, you cry for me, we're far from heaven now
All is ash, my flames are dying down
Tainted by fate, I've learned we're far from heaven
Far from heaven now
