[HARRY]
Lying here in an open grave
It is peaceful
And after sunrise
A memory
When I was just sixteen my foster dad
Enthralled Elaine
I ran in vain
A Walker came for me
I burned my way out
Burned everything down far as I could see
I burned my way out
The Leanansidhe then made herself known to me
She made an offer then
My godmother
Gave me power, made me stronger
Strong enough for me to burn Justin and his
House right down to the ground…
I burned my way into war
I burned my way to persecution
I got injured so I needed a cure
I burned my bridges and bartered to be restored
I burned my way to Chichen Itza and I soaked it in gore
And with Winter's dominance and assistance
I burned the Red Court vampires out of existence
Because when Susan turned I saw the whole confluence
I picked up the knife, I burned and damn the consequence
Lying here in an open grave
It is peaceful
And after sunrise
A memory
She was saved when I used the knife
I had sold my soul
For my daughter I had sold my soul
And so I had to die
[QUEEN MAB]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
[HARRY]
I'll burn my way out…
[QUEEN MAB]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
[HARRY]
Burn my whole life down, far as I can see…
[MAB AND ENSEMBLE]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait…
(Queen Mab still has her eyes on you)
[HARRY]
I burned my way out…
Overwrote the whole memory
Deep in the dark of an open grave, it was the only
Way I could escape my destiny…
[COMPANY (EXCEPT HARRY)]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait…
