The fire's burning high
So bright it blinds my eyes
Relentless flames crawl up my thigh
You can pray to the lord above
As the flames grow higher
You can grab a crucifix
But I don't fear the funeral pyre
Because I burn, I burn for you
Bum for you
Because I burn, I burn for you
It's a wicked cross to bear
Mordant fumes fill my lungs
Ministers speak in tongues
My work on earth has just begun
You can send a preacher
A true religious man
All the bibles in the world
Won't make him understand
Because I burn, I burn for you
Burn for you
You know I burn, I burn for you
It's a wicked cross to bear
You can pray to the lord above
As the flames grow higher
You can grab a crucifix
But I don't fear the funeral pyre
Because I burn, I burn for you
Burn for you
Because I burn, I burn for you
It's a wicked cross to bear
You know I burn, I burn for you
Burn for you
Oh yes I burn, I burn for you
It's a wicked cross to bear
