Текст песни

A FIRE
Moving with murderous intent in through my veins
CAUTERIZE
And close the split to sterilize what remains
THE SMOKE
That signals rise and meet the pardoners abound
ABANDON HOPE
This recovery won’t save another sound
We collect our loss
WE’RE SCATTERED ACROSS
And divide them among these greedy gods
To hell with the cost
Don’t look away-
As the flames wash over us
They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew
Have no fear for the distant
They will take their place when it’s time
We won’t leave a trace
We will burn them all-
Burn them all alive
Cast a careless spell-
Conjure up their questions-
A morbid curiosity
With forensic eyes
These hungry hands of mine
Pull to pieces the mystery
So delicately
The gray will shroud
Every stretch of sky they dare to see
The rain will fall-
In shades of black
Because the dead don’t weep
DEAD DON’T WEEP
Don’t look away-
As the flames wash over us
They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew
Have no fear for the distant
They will take their place when it’s time
We won’t leave a trace
We will burn them all-
Burn them all alive
It’s dangerous
It’s the closest that you’ll come
To an honest life
To living without the lies
It’s dangerous
It’s the closest that you’ll come
To an honest life
To living without the lies
Don’t look away-
As the flames wash over us
They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew
Have no fear for the distant
They will take their place when it’s time
We won’t leave a trace
We will burn them all-
Burn them all alive
