Feel the fire down your neck
Your heart beating like a drum
Flashes of red as they fade to gray
-the ashes sift away.
Don’t ask for comfort, here you get none
They’ll watch as the flames work through your body
Thundering your pounding lungs
-desperate to get away.
The heat grows high; where do you go from here?
Encased in flames; you have no chance
No chance to feel the love
-no chance to get away.
It’s ending so soon, you let you all go
Your soul to be picked over; because you don’t really care
You’ve fallen to low, to see yourself now
-pick your feet up; fly away
And now it’s all over, as they watch you; laid bare
A pretty red dress, stained with your blood
Your body so broken, so fragile; unmarred
-locked up tight you can’t get away
They’ll take you away, ashamed of the sight
You think of the sight that kept you alive
As you make your escape; your heart beating like a drum
-as you run in the dead of night, run away
*Your funeral was held; the empty coffin, buried
As you nurse your wounds in sweet success
Thinking of that face that made you find strength
- yout pain is taken away
