Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

The name she called

The name

Is

The flower

Who

Is

To fragile

To small

I won't

Can't let her go

No!

I volunteer as tribute.

Here I stand

Here I cry

Here I say my last

Goodbye

Here I go

Sent off to die

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

Make my pretty

Make me glow

Surely they

All must know

No matter how great I shine

I shimmer

No sparks can save me

Doomed to die

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

Up on the screen

They show the flames

Crowd cheering

Screaming our names

The boy with the bread

Stands firm

Stands strong

Friendship

In the Arena

Won't last long

We are beautiful

Fated to die

Wish I had more time

To say goodbye

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

So many of them

So strong and brave

They have power

What do I have?

The boy with the bread

And arrows instead

Of

Power

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

The time is now

The time to show

What have I?

They don't know

But they should know

Should see me now

I've fired all

But one

Arrow

I am good

Skilled

But what

Of that

Have they seen?

Now they see my arrow

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

As I twirl

I hear the cheers

I am a firebird

But death looms near

Love

He

Says

He

Speaks

Of

Love?

What could it mean

Could it be true?

Girl on fire

Up in smoke

Burning away

My dreams

My hopes

I volunteered as tribute

The time has come

The fatal hour

Killed or be killed

Am I ready?

We'll have to see

Goodbye

Girl on fire

Sent to die
