Verse:
Madeliene, should our story end
With these aftermath music
My broken French?
Heal her, if you can
Pray the lions aren't waiting
Emsus
Take her hand
Chorus:
I want to be brave, I want to be brave
But the night goes up in flames
The courage we need
A fury to tame this madness, this madness, this madness
Verse:
And no more will I count the dead
Bending, gathering words he should've said
And night falls and scrapes his knees
We watch the houses on fire
Emsus
And she says to me
Chorus (as above)
Verse:
Over time, luck runs out
And fate is not your friend
Over time, good must go
And were we safe, safe yet?
Outro:
Madeliene
Can I escape again?
Out of the dragonfly jar
Am I safe yet?
