There's beauty in pain that paints every day
 With colours that stay and won't fade away
 In wounds that won't heal, in nightmares too real
 They tell us that we can still feel
 ♪
 In fire we're forged and given a form
 The harder the hammer the stronger the soul
 For all of our tears and all of our scars
 They remind us of who we are
 One is for the heart we left behind
 One is for a friend who said goodbye
 One is for the love we swore would never die
 But that was in another lifetime
 One is for the times we were denied
 One is for the feelings locked inside
 One is for the secrets that we've had to hide
 But that was in another lifetime
 ♪
 We might've been kings
 We might have been pawns
 We might've been ducklings
 We might have been swans
 There's no grand design
 There's only desire
 You're either the pearl or the swine
 For all that we've lost and our every tear
 The choices we've made have brought us here
 Everything we are, everything we have
 We have built from fragments
 One is for the heart we left behind
 One is for a friend who said goodbye
 One is for the love we swore would never die
 But that was in another lifetime
 One is for the times we were denied
 One is for the feelings locked inside
 One is for the secrets that we've had to hide
 But that was in another lifetime
 But that was in another lifetime
 ♪
 Please believe in me
 Because the man you see
 Is not the man I used to be
 We may always be alone and broken
 But we have survived, we are alive
 Please believe in me
 Because the man you see
 Is not the man I used to be
 We may always be alone and broken
 But we have survived, we are alive

 Time after time, people try, just to
 Feel once more the fire that burns
 Everytime we fall to the ground
 And everything we leave behind
 Oh, that was in another lifetime

 Feel once more the fire that burns
 Everytime we fall to the ground
 And everything we leave behind
