There's a fire outside burning up this town,
The fireman's arrived and he's hosing it down.
All the people gathered just around the bend,
They're all screaming like mad; it's a dang godsend.
It's an issue now, this playing with flame
Like the parents, their kids, and their trading card games.
Declared to be deadly, this flame has been,
A danger to the nation from beyond its rim.
And the fire keeps raging all through the night,
It won't go down without a fight.
It's closing in around them with all of its power,
This could be their darkest hour.
And the buildings collapse under their red weight,
Now the Starry Banner has met its fate.
The flames are closing in, and in, and in, and in, and in, and in, and in.
But wait, the cinders are gone.
And I can't see the smoking gun.
And the people, nowhere to be found.
There's gotta be more than this.
When freedom dies,
When friendship turns to hate,
When fear and lies become common sense,
When compassion towards a friend in need is a sin,
All the while, we will think we're sane.

To be or not be.
That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer...
To die?
To sleep?
To dream?
And in that sleep,
What dreams may come?
The undiscovered country, from which no traveller returns.
(Swear!)
From the table of my memory,
I will wipe away all records; pressures past.
And thy commandment all alone shall live.
Villain, Villain! Smiling damned villain!
Now to my word.
(Remember!)
I have sworn it.
I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
Oh, that this sullied flesh would melt, dew on the leaves,
Of the wild garden, grown to seed.
The transient stage of the rank and gross.
Why can I not exit when I wish it the most?
A plea from beyond the grave to be appeased.
Rivers of blood, yet the floodgates are shut.
(A zoo of beasts within guards the dam; the keys in their teeth, yet in my hand.)
A love never meant to be...
Playing people like harps, and being played.
A visage with a cause I did not explain.
A new path to an end.
(Yes!)
The play's the thing.
A conscience caught, but no end to my suffering.
The perfect plan, always coming,
to hell we'll fall, plummeting.
The perfect plan, never coming,
to hell we'll fall, plummeting. (x2)
Witness this army, of such mass and charge,
Led by a delicate and tender prince.
Whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd, makes mouths at the invisible event.
How stand I?
A father killed, a mother stained.
Excitements of my reason and my blood.
While to my shame I see a thousand men go to their graves like beds,
Not tomb enough to hide the slain.
(Swear!)
From this time forth,
My thoughts be bloody, or nothing worth!
Had I but time I could tell you,
Of the visage, the beasts - but let it be.
Things standing thus unknown shall I leave behind me.
The rest is silence.

Rain, wash me away. (x2)
Wash away my being.
