We've been holding on too long
Fighting wars that can't be won
Through a thousand restless nights
Trying to find what's left inside

These northern fires leave no smoke
They burn so slow we barely know
Every day they steal a little more
Till there's nothing left to hold

Northern fires
Leave no smoke
Only scars
Northern fires

Every promise turned to dust
Every word became too much
We kept standing in the cold
Waiting for a fire gone old

Northern fires
Leave no smoke
Only scars
Northern fires

We lost this fight before the end
The moment we stopped reaching in
When silence became louder than our names
Everything changed

I gave you my hand, I gave my heart
You turned away into the dark
I tried to speak, but nothing came
The frozen fire found every crack

Northern fires
Leave no smoke
Only scars
Northern fires

Northern fires
Leave no smoke
Only scars
Northern fires

Oh, oh
Northern fires
