[Verse 1]
Last kiss for a burned man
Dark child of the outlands
My heavy heart will take this last goodbye
Brave souls for a last stand
Spilled blood on my charred hands
A sacrifice to know you'll stay alive

[Chorus]
When the fire has come
I will die to protect you
Light a candle for me
On this winter's day
My queen, don't cry tonight
There's a dream left to cling to
I will rest in ash
To leave you safe, I pray

[Verse 2]
Fresh snow for the dark years
Frost graced by a king's tears
My love, I must not waver now in death
Deep earth, where the fires glow
Faced down with the unknown
A whispered vow to you on my last breath
[Chorus]
When the fire has come
I will die to protect you
Light a candle for me
On this winter's day
My queen, don't cry tonight
There's a dream left to cling to
I will rest in ash
To leave you safe, I pray

[Bridge]
Always, these winds will whisper
Laced with an endless shiver
Leave a light above for me to find
Last queen of lands forsaken
Hold strong when life is taken
Keep a memory, for peace of mind

[Chorus]
When the fire has come
I will die to protect you
Light a candle for me
On this winter's day
My queen, don't cry tonight
There's a dream left to cling to
I will rest in ash
To leave you safe, I pray
