Amber dear, Amber dear
A girl with one dark secret
A secret all too terrible
That she could never keep it

Amber dear, Amber dear
She lost her parents young
In a fire years ago
When smoke filled up their lungs

Amber dear, Amber dear
Was forced to move away
Forced to live with families
Who never wanted her to stay

Amber dear, Amber dear
Was quite lonely and forlorn
Never quite recovered from
The tragedy she mourned

Amber dear, Amber dear
Was picked on at her school
For "letting" her poor parents die,
They labeled her a fool

Amber dear, Amber dear
Tried hard to shut them out
Tried to keep her mind off things
That they did mock about

But Amber dear, although she tried,
Their mocking never ceased
They taunted her and taunted her
'Till her secret, she released

The fire sparked inside her soul,
It shone within her eyes,
The fire grew around her 'till
It met the darkened skies

She fin'lly let the voices win
Complied to their desire,
She let the flames consume them all
Let them burn within her fire...

But Amber dear, oh Amber dear
Was soon filled with such regret
For letting all these people come
To the same fate her parents met
