The Burning

There's a place that I come from

Where the disenchanted live alone

And it rains all day and the nights are cold

Would you dare to wish for something more?

I had turned laughter to tears

Punched my way to get here

Stole the fruit, bruised the skin from the heart of the innocent

Still you forgive

Where would I be without you?

I couldn't live without you

You are the reason that I breathe

I won't look down, my eyes are fixed ahead now

No words of pain will pass between my lips

A thousand miles starts with a single footstep

No regrets, it's my time, can't forget my lifeline

As for me, I'll make my peace on Earth

Church bells ring, sounds like a song

Of a time we knew long and gone

I'll break away in the dead of night

And all that I knew, I'll sever that line

There is a riot inside

Torn between truth and my pride

Will I have to learn to compromise?

I won't look down, my eyes are fixed ahead now

No words of pain will pass between my lips

A thousand miles starts with a single footstep

No regrets, it's my time, can't forget my lifeline

As for me, I'll make my peace on Earth

Don't look back or for revenge

To the point where you descend

Stand at your post while the weak pass by

Show the world how a man should die

I won't look down, my eyes are fixed ahead now

No words of pain will pass between my lips

A thousand miles starts with a single footstep

No regrets, it's my time, can't forget my lifeline

As for me, I'll make my peace on Earth
