BURN IT TO DEATH

High on the fire running through my veins
Literal inferno beneath the skin
You pull me under to blacken these bones
Embrace the conflagration again
 
Cleanse me with your rage
Engulf me in flame
 
Obsidian eyes watch the embers light
The sky on fire and burn all the stars
Nothing can kill the flames but its own self
The smoke of her burning excites my scars
 
Give me all your hate
I feed on the pain
Cleanse me with your rage
Engulf me in flame
 
AND BURN IT TO DEATH
The idols are the icons
That I despise
LET'S BURN IT TO DEATH
Cleanse yesterday with flame
And blow the ashes away
 
I smolder with a shoulder that's colder
Than the grave that you find your ashes in
Candle light flickers on funeral rites
I burn for you a thousand times again
 
Cast  
Us
To
The
Winds
 
Give me all your hate
I feed on the pain
 
AND BURN IT TO DEATH
The idols are the icons
That I despise
LET'S BURN IT TO DEATH
Cleanse yesterday with flame
And blow the ashes away
 
Cleanse me with your rage
Engulf me in flame
Give me all your hate
I feed on the pain
 
AND BURN IT TO DEATH
The idols are the icons
That I despise
LET'S BURN IT TO DEATH
Cleanse yesterday with flame
And blow the ashes away
