[Intro] Child of burning time.. The child of burning time... [Verse 1] Only consolation is a lie 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 has gone, he hasn't come back yet [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I burn away [x4] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus Variant] 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 [Outro] 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
