Child of burning time   The child of burning time      My only consolation is all lies   The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight   Winter has returned and it always looks like rain   I cant remember anything...anything   Inside the absolution is to come   And appetites are bittersweet I think I'm coming home   A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret   The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back /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   A skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame   And I cut my need into my heart, I tear it all apart   I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved   Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow 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      And I cut my need 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 saved   Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today      Burn me away, I wont become your hero just to fight the life I saved   Burn me away, I wont give up tommorow just to lose it all, lose it all today
