Cover art for Burning in the Skies lyrics by Linkin Park

From what i interpret he's done something really bad then lost someone or something in it. Now he feels really bad and wishes he didn't do what ever he did wrong.

@MasterofRandom yes, very much reads that he regrets past decisions and that the person they are talking to has now passed ("rise", "skies" ... both could symbolise heaven)
