Testo So He Stood

So he stood and watched the fire
burn the stories and the memories of his old life
Blazing pictures of his late wife
Flame-cut sashes like a sign of spent desire
Haunted demons catch the lone wolf
Like all thunder tries to keep up with its lightning
Cracking timber all around him
Ignites the beauty of a world that once was frightening
So he stood, so he stood.
Our life is the same
All life is the same

So he stood, so he stood.
Our life is the same
All life is the same

This fire was reaching for all he had and all he was
He sees his life and realizes, he never tried, he never tried
This fire was reaching for all he had and all he was
Not to be dreaming. Not to be dreaming.
Not to be dreaming. Not to be dreaming.
So he stood, so he stood. So he stood, so he stood.

So he stood and watched the fire
burn the stories and the memories of his old life
Blazing pictures of his late wife
Flame-cut sashes like a sign of spent desire
Haunted demons catch the lone wolf
Like all thunder tries to keep up with its lightning
Cracking timber all around him
Ignites the beauty of a world that once was frightening

So he stood, so he stood.
Our life is the same
All life is the same

So he stood, so he stood.
Our life is the same
All life is the same

This fire was reaching for all he had and all he was
He sees his life and realizes, he never tried, he never tried
This fire was reaching for all he had and all he was
Not to be dreaming. Not to be dreaming.
Not to be dreaming. Not to be dreaming.
Not to be dreaming. Not to be dreaming.
Not to be dreaming .
