I’ll sit in the shade, watch the sun til it burns

To the core of the earth, alike in its fire.

Lie down and watch the world go grey,

For all the stars have abandoned our sky.

Let the earth be torn apart.

I’ll go down without a fight.

Sit in the fire, watch them begging for mercy.

Why try when it’ll amount to nothing

But fallen heroes in history books?

I’m useless in the eyes of strangers,

Useless in my own mind, too.

But I don’t run about tempting fate,

Just sit and watch them ask for their death.

They flirt with destruction like foreplay to their doom,

Then act surprised when it comes hurling back at them.

Maybe they will end up on the Stairs of Valhalla

For their valiant attempts to bring everyone down with them.

Or maybe they’re just plain dead, while I lie

In the trail of fires they left behind,

Watching the sky go grey.
