Burn Lyrics

As I lay in the cold embrace of the snow

Sinking deeper and deeper

I look out to see the stars rearranged in your likeness

I reach out, but the snow has me trapped in its weight

And I pray for your gaze to melt the snow away

In the late hours of the dark and endless nights

Growing stranger and stranger

I confess to you in the dim flame of your altar

I give blood to ascend to your heavenly touch

But I fear in my efforts, I will draw too much

I await in the cold damp shade of the trees

All more restless and eager

For the few nights of full moons walks through the water

In those moments I pierce through the faith of my sun

All for the taste of the high I fear may not come

What's it gonna take for me to let you go

How am I supposed to tear the ties that grow

When your eyes share the passion that I know

Tell me how you would put out the fires of liars

Who yearn to ignite at your feet

Before you burn in deceit

Oh, the sound of your voice that will guide my unruly soul

Through the thunder and rain

Oh, the smoke and the heat that you give

Brings me down to my knees and keeps me insane

I have fought through the black gates

For the grace of your touch in the night

Without a lying in sight

What's it gonna take for me to let you go

How am I supposed to tear the ties that grow

When your eyes share the passion that I know

Tell me how you would put out the fires of liars

Who yearn to ignite at your feet

Before you burn in deceit

Oh, as our bodies run through the rain

As we slow dance through the pain

To kindle the flames we engrave our names

As I race to the end of the night

Tied back by the grace of the fight

Oh, I can hardly believe what became of my mind
