Can I swallow the soil
Make it all beautiful?
Can I carry it, carry it, carry it now?

The truth can't bare the sunlight
You're afraid for the day it does
Hell when I told you so
I got burn, burn, burned again

Heaven forbid that my heart is forsaken
Hope in the end truth prevails

I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Need to find my way home, home

He earns fire as a God
But I believed in your heart
And I'm leaving you, leaving you, leaving you now

The truth can't bare the sunlight
And don't pretend to be my guide
Heard you said you'd change it over
But I got burn, burn, burned instead

Heaven can wait 'cause my soul is forsaken
Hope in the end truth prevails

I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Need to find my way home, home

I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world
Run to the edge of the world
Need to find my way home, home

Just to fall out, no more rain
Once upon a time

    The correct lyrics are “You’re as proud as a god” not “he earns fire as a god”
