I was the first to watch you leave
Poor in soul
A dried up stream
You were the last of a dying breed
Prone to wander
But born to lead

I still remember your innocence
Oh the days when your heart was in it
Oh but now you're like the falling sun
And the race to death
Has just begun

So light your torch and
Follow me
We'll burn the boats back to
Who we used to be
And all this time
It was never what it seemed
Let's burn the boats back to
Who we used to be

And all the memories of the days you lost
You add them up and then you count the cost
You're just a shadow of a man undone
Another life that has just begun

So light your torch and
Follow me
We'll burn the boats back to
Who we used to be
And all this time
It was never what it seemed
Let's burn the boats back to
Who we used to be
Let's burn the boats back to
Who we used to be

So light your torch and
Follow me
We'll burn the boats back to
Who we used to be
And all this time
It was never what it seemed
Let's burn the boats back
Let's burn the boats back
Let's burn the boats back
To who we used to be
