lyrics

Let the fires keep burning
Don't ever let them die
Don't ever let them die
The flames can not hurt me
They will only leave a mark

Let my skin glow brown
I don't want to even see it
I don't want to even know it
Let the sky go down
And I will still be here
I will still be Ben

The flames can not harm me
They will only leave a mark
A mark that will allow me
I want to touch the skin of the weak
I want to feel it in my mouth
As I watch their eyes go out
I will wallow about
As their heart pumps out
I want to see their skin in my mouth

Let them all go away
I want to be here to stay
Here to stay
I want to shout out to the sun
"You've killed them all but me"
"Now watch as I alone bleed"
The sun will say down to me
"I'll make sure of it you bleed"
"Yes I'll make sure of it you bleed"
But the blood can not harm me
It will only leave a stain
It will only leave a stain
Now watch as I kill you
Your time in here ends now
Great sun you will go down
I will kill you with my might
I will end your very life
Your power alone is mine
And I wish to be see it all
I wish to see the might
When the sun itself will die
The burns can not harm me
They will only leave a mark
Yes they only leave a mark
Great sun you will die
I wish to end your life
And end this very life
The very life that you create
I will destroy all you make
While destroying your own face

I wish to touch the skin of the young ones
I wish to hear it break
I wish to be in their place
