i tried to save them but i see

that no one will come to me

white flags are waving out in glee

and then i began to flee


i hear their glass hearts drop and crash

and their embers turn to ash 

put out the flames in a big splash

failed to save  and so i dashed


in this desolate dark tundra

started a brand new era

i began to claim the name of 

the lonely pariah
