glowing like an emerald ember
she disappears in the eving sky
racing fast with a falling sun
you and your hand full of fireflies
on, onward through the heartless sky - climb
skyward you fly, goddess
it's a fatal fall, and a steepening climb
beneath the wind and the beating wings
you and your hand full of fireflies
on, onward through the heartless sky - climb
fighting with the burning cold
her wings are battered, her ascent is slowed
with a glimpse of what she came to see
she's tumbling and earthbound
on, the ground is such a shallow grave
you and your hand full of fireflies
she disappears in the eving sky
racing fast with a falling sun
you and your hand full of fireflies
on, onward through the heartless sky - climb
skyward you fly, goddess
it's a fatal fall, and a steepening climb
beneath the wind and the beating wings
you and your hand full of fireflies
on, onward through the heartless sky - climb
fighting with the burning cold
her wings are battered, her ascent is slowed
with a glimpse of what she came to see
she's tumbling and earthbound
on, the ground is such a shallow grave
you and your hand full of fireflies
