Child of Burning Time

Child of burning time

Child of burning time

My only consolation is all lies

The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight

Winter hasn't ended, and it always looks like rain

I can't remember anything, anything

Inside the absolution, we succumb

And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb

A chance to give up avarice has marked my one regret

The child of burning time is gone and he hasn't come back yet

Before I tell my story please consider who I am

I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can

A tragedy is commonplace but in the end they go away

My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame

I cut my name into my heart

I'll tear it all apart

I beg you, burn me away

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save

Burn me away

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today

I burn away, I burn away

I burn away, I burn away

My isolation is my course

The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source

I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame

Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage

I cut my name into my soul

I guess I'll never know

I beg you, burn me away

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save

Burn me away

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today

Burn me away

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save

Burn me away

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today
