Burn me in BRIMSTONE, burn it all away
Paper bird stuck in a silver cage
Watch as I turn black, burning at the fray
In that dark, dark ember haze.
Burn me in BRIMSTONE, burn it all away
Paper bird stuck in a silver cage
Watch as I turn black, burning at the fray
In the ashes of yesterday
[POST-CHORUS]
And when we cry for love
In a lightless world
And our hands fall off
And turn to dust
Thats when we hurt the most
And our souls cries out
For the flames of God
From ash to dust (o-o-oh)
[VERSE 1]
My lonely only friend is called malady
They flayed my skin and put these bars around me
We keep in touch right through my every thought
They won't let me free
The bitter end is calling
Smoke and falling
BRIMSTONE
The only love I know is called enmity
How long has it been since I felt empathy?
I know I can't keep going on like this
So please set me free
The bitter end is calling
Smoke and falling
BRIMSTONE
[PRE-CHORUS]
Will you set me free?
(From the world, and all of my misery?)
One last elegy
(For myself, and all that I've left behind)
[BRIDGE]
Let it all go
Burnt match, fire
BRIMSTONE
Burn me away
Burn me away
In your holy flames
[x4]
