Pyre

Body's ablaze, let the flames reach higher Let me bask in the heat, of your generous pyre From dust you came and to dust you'll return It warms my blood as I stand and watch you burn I lay you down, your flesh and bone And for your sins, you must atone For fire is cruel, it cannot forgive And this inferno will suffer no man to live So burn, oh burn Your body been mere kindling and your essence nought but coal So burn, oh burn Let this fire consume and cast away your blackened soul A pound of flesh, could never satisfy And no riches could ever, could ever rectify What's done is done, so now you pay Not a tear will be shed in your name So burn, oh burn Your body been mere kindling and your essence nought but coal So burn, oh burn Let this fire consume and cast away your blackened soul A body in ashes, a debt now paid Your embers cold now as your, your memory fades Your legacy, you silver tongued liar No eloquence would've saved you from this fire So burn, oh burn Your body be mere kindling and your essence nought but coal So burn, oh burn Let this fire consume and cast away your blackened soul Your blackened soul I'm gonna stand and watch you burn
