Slipknot - Child Of Burning Time lyrics

Child of burning time Child of burning time My 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 is gone 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 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
