Here I stand in this frozen wasteland
Trying to find the fire inside
But my angels keep telling me
Not to hide
But there's no~ more~ time~
Screaming in~ my~ mind...


Please wait~
Please stay~
In our hidden place
That was lost when the broken city
Burned through closed doors
But if you want~, to lose yourself
In my~, self-absorbing light
Then I~, will light the stars
Not matter how far...


Away!
Through the pain!
Through the light of the darkest of days
I will fight!
Through flames of night!
Burning so bright, they light up the sky
Like Fireflies!


I can feel a demon watching me
While I try to get lost in my waking dreams
He doesn't have a cloak and dagger
Or a soul
But he's still reaping~ me~
Whispers, "Scream~ for~ me..."


Don't go~, don't follow me
Please~, just let me see
This through~, to the end and only then
Will I try at home
But when~, all else fails
The stars~, they shall prevail
And hail~, will not shake my faith
I will not fade...


Away!
I will make!
Tomorrow shine brighter than today
So I will fight!
To the last light!
Burning alive, in the dead of the night
Like Fireflies!


<<BREAK>>


Now I will fly
(I fly...)
Like the fire that I am
(I am...)
Cuz this suicidal plan
(This plan...)
Will be my final stand~
(My final stand...)

Please don't cry
("Don't cry...")
Shed the tears out of your eyes
("Your eyes...")
And see there is no other way
("No way")
To make tomorrow shine, brighter than today~~
(Shine brighter than today~)

There's no more time...


<<BREAK>>


(Not so fast but so far away)
(Not so fast but so far away)
(Not so fast but so far away)
(Not so fast but so far away)

Not so fast but so far away
Not so fast but so far away
Not so fast but so far away
Not so fast but so very far...

Away!~~
Away!~~
Away!~~
Away!~~~


Away!
For heaven's sake!
The millions of stars have been saved
And while I die!
Look to the sky!
Tomorrow's lights will shine so bright...

Like Fireflies!~~~
Like Fireflies!~~~
Like Fireflies!~~~
I'm Firefly!~~~~
Well everybody, at first I didn't like this song. The pre-choruses were so screwed up with their rhythm that even I couldn't remember it easily. The only part that I really liked at first was the breakdown, which I had written along with both verses before everything. But it's grown on me. Probably because I spent a day in detention with nothing to do except write songs and do homework. So this song was born.

 The song itself was inspired by the power metal band DragonForce.

Comment and fave. And if you're feel especially generous, you can give a critique.

Enjoy.
