If the fires come Will I turn and run Or stay for once? If the fires come... Oh, Stella, I've been caught in awful dream With the world spinning on in extremes When it's all over and the sky repairs Will we still be standing here? 'Cause all my life, I run away Go far, go faster, drive 'til I push down all the pain Trying so hard not to feel And maybe I have to if I want to heal And from here, I can see it Oh so clearly, oh... There is no great escape No more running away 'Cause this time - for the first time - This time I'll stay! When the fires come I will stand, surrender, come what may When the fires come If my whole world is gone, could I finally face my son? When the fires come... Let them come...
