In the coldness of the universe, fires burn
Some are fanned, some put out, but all of them learn
Each will end up one of those two ways
Though they all hide in a smoky haze
There's no way for them to escape what's coming

If you end up as ashes, then what do you gain
If you're extinguished, then what will remain
So do you want wind or rain

Face the rage of the forces that decide your fate
Try to bend them to your will in your pitiful state
Failure comes, and your embers fall
Was it better for you not to exist at all
Than to be subjected to this chaos

If you end up as ashes, then what do you gain
If you're extinguished, then what will remain
So do you want wind or rain
