firewalker with me
[Verse 1]
They say you can't go home again, it's true
Especially when your home burns down around you
I lit the match with a flick of the cleat
From the league that hexed me
Yeah, I'll see you in hell
'Cause it's hell that sent me
As I walk out the door
Singing, "Next team, next team"
[Pre-Chorus]
First you do it for the money
Then you do it for the fame
Then you do it for your teammates
Then you do it for the flame
For the flame
[Chorus]
Firewalker with me
If you ever felt alone in the crowd
That screams your name
Firewalker with me
It's just a game
It's just a game
It's just a game
[Verse 2]
Nobody deserves to be called a curse
But if you're gonna resist, I'm happy to make things worse
I'll start again with a slate as blank
As the stares in the crowd
When I'm the last one standing
Will you still be proud?
As I brush off the ashes, screaming "next team, next team"
[Pre-Chorus]
First you're done in by the money
Then you're done in by the fame
Then you're done in by your teammates
Then you're done in by the flame
By the flame
[Chorus]
Firewalker with me
If you ever felt alone in the crowd
That screams your name
Firewalker with me
It's just a game
It's just a game
It's just a game
[Bridge]
It's almost over now
I think I know how
This all ends
This all ends
What's left of the money?
Of my friends?
There's a darkness closing in
No more games
No more regret
Oh, God, why?
Why can't I forget?
[Chorus]
(What's left of the money?)
(Of my friends?)
Firewalker with me (There's a darkness closing in)
(No more games)
If you ever felt alone in the crowd (No more regrets)
That screams your name (Oh, God, why can't I forget?)
(What's left of the money?)
(Of my friends?)
Firewalker with me (There's a darkness closing in)
(No more games)
When you're tired of the shadows (No more regrets)
And the shame (Oh, God, why can't I forget?)
Firewalker (What's left of the money?)
Firewalker with me (Of my friends?)
If you've ever felt the rush (There's a darkness closing in)
Of the fire, of the flame, of the flame (No more games, no more regrets)
Firewalker (Oh, God, why can't I forget?)
Firewalker
Firewalker with me (What's left of the money?)
(Of my friends?)
If you've ever felt the brutal chill (There's a darkness closing in)
Of charred remains (No more games, no more regrets)
[Outro]
It's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game (Oh, God, why can't I forget?)
It's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game
It's just a game, it's just a—
