i look at the lanes
the ones lined with street lamps
their light flickers
going in and out
i often go back to that night
when i saw ashes and blood
and chaos
when i heard the sadness
before i could feel it
since then it's never been the same
the town no longer has any names
it's a memory i can't forget
the flames still seem to be ablaze
it's haunting me since then
cause that's the night i saw my hometown burn and decay
