Bound to the Burn

Replace me with a pawn, a victim unaware The shepherd appointed to a corpse Bound to the burn Bound to the burn Collected from my cross before my breathing stops A testament to routine sacrifice A casket calls my name Cast from my constraint My final fleeting flame will remain asleep While my airways fill with smoke How I long to watch the curtains close Bound to the burn My calling compromised Bound to the burn My dedication dies Bound to the burn Let me leave I've given enough Replace me with a pawn, a victim unaware The shepherd appointed to a corpse Bound to the burn A casket calls my name Cast from my constraint My final fleeting flame will remain asleep While my airways fill with smoke How I long to watch the curtains close Asleep while my airways fill with smoke How I long to watch the curtains close Let me leave I've given enough
