the general took his men and left the aftermath of our town
they left our homes ablaze took our monuments to the ground
the sound uproared consuming me, i watched a tear stream down your cheek
and i cursed in vein for it to rain
to tame the rampant pheonix
i saw them ride off with our son
we drank for weeks to vaporize the pain
and i saw yr eyes, i remembered how they burned

i left with a team of men to get our things back but we couldnt get inside
they chased us back with their fire and their guns
we braved the freezing weather on the journey back
a few of us have died
and i begged for the sun
how i begged for it to shine
my darling i miss you and our son

i remember fruit i remember smiles long before the fire
i remember sunday mornings with my very own family
and i wish to be back when before the awful flame destroyed our lives, i watched them ride off with our son
we drank for weeks to vaporize the pain
and i saw yr eyes, i remember how they burned.
