When your world was destroyed
In a rain of ice and fire
When the acid rain burnt your skin
And killed so many
You cried in my arms
But when the world turned gray
And your light almost went out
When the rebels rose
Loud and dangerous
You had no one to hold you
All because of me
I thought I would forget you
Just like everything else
I thought you would become nothing
But of course not
You can't be forgotten, can you?
You linger
Like a ghost
Always there, but never real
Gone at my touch
And now regret lies inside of me
Poison in the heart of a monster
But now I hold the gun
And whether you like it or not
I'm the one who's got to save this world
But you, you are the one
Who's got to save me
So tell me this
Before I go off to die
If we had the chance
Would you still let me kiss your forehead
And wish you goodnight
As we listen to the poison rain
Pour outside?
