Theres a flame
It's burning deep inside
It's the flame of truth
It would like to come out, but it hides

When it tries to come up the throat
I just swallow it down
I let it burn inside
And live with the lie

But here and there it escapes
And burns me in shame
No water can extinguish the flame
It burns and burns like hell

But I prefer the flame inside
So that I don't have to live in guilt and shame
Just want to burn the truth
So that I only remember the lie
