What the Fire Left Behind Lyrics by Karma and the Killjoys

2024

[verse 1]
I watched the house burn to the ground
I watched the kingdom fall
I didn’t say a word and I reached for your hand
To find that you were gone
And you will keep me company
Until my dying day
And I will never again live in fear
In the house on the lake
[Chorus]
I was a liar, I swore that we would win
You paid the price for our sins
Family, my family, blood of my blood
I lost you in the fire, lost myself in the flood
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And when it came it
Washed me away
[verse 2]
It will come back to remind me
Of the secrets wе cursed ourselves to keep
It will comе back to remind me
On this bed of ashes I cannot sleep
[Chorus]
I was a liar, I swore that we would win
You paid the price for our sins
Family, my family, blood of my blood
I lost you in the fire, lost myself in the flood
[bridge]
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I will drown myself
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I will drown myself
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I couldn’t get you out
I will drown myself
I watched the house burn to the ground
I watched the kingdom fall
[Chorus]
I was a liar, I swore that we would win
You paid the price for our sins
Family, my family, blood of my blood
I lost you in the fire, lost myself in the flood
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And I prayed for the rain
And when it came it
Washed me away
