Amongst the stone and smoke
We never laid before
Images floating all about
Life in the afterglow

My decaying mind pretends
None of this ever happened
We either learn to live a lie
Or we're waiting here to die

And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow

Amongst the stone and smoke
Rising above it all
Broken but not beyond repair
Let's see how this soul fares

And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow you

(Everything you thought you've lost you have now)
(Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now? Now, now, who's laughing now?)
Let's see how this soul fares

"The Private does what The General says
The General does what The President says
The President does what The First Lady says
So, so they say"

    I saw on the dear hunter forum that this one guy actually already had a song by song analysis and he seems to think that the person saving the boy here is actually his half-brother. Not sure how he spotted this but apparently Casey confirmed it.
