In The Embers

We live and we die

Like fireworks

Our legacies hide

In the embers

May our stories catch fire

And burn bright enough

To catch God's eye

We live and we die

Like fireworks

We pull apart the dark

Compete against the stars

With all of our hearts

Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash

We pull apart the darkness while we can

May we live and die

A valorous life

May we write it all down

In cursive light

So we pray we were made

In the image of a figure eight

May we live and die

Like fireworks

We pull apart the dark

Compete against the stars

With all of our hearts

Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash

We pull apart the darkness while we can

Like fireworks

We pull apart the dark

Compete against the stars

With all of our hearts

Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash

We pull apart the darkness while we can
