Child of Burning Time Lyrics
Child of burning time
The child of burning time
My only consolation is all lies
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
Winter has returned and it always looks like rain
I cant remember anything...anything
Inside the absolution is to come
And appetites are bittersweet I think I'm coming home
A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret
The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back /he hasn't come back yet
Before I tell my story please consider who I am
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can
A tragedy is commonplace but in the end they go away
A skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame
And I cut my need into my heart, I tear it all apart
I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
My isolation is my course
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source
I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame
Until this war is over I won't ever lose my rage
And I cut my need into my soul, I guess I'll never know
I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today
Burn me away, I wont become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I wont give up tommorow just to lose it all, lose it all today
The child of burning time
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
Winter has returned and it always looks like rain
I cant remember anything...anything
Inside the absolution is to come
And appetites are bittersweet I think I'm coming home
A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret
The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back /he hasn't come back yet
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can
A tragedy is commonplace but in the end they go away
A skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame
And I cut my need into my heart, I tear it all apart
I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source
I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame
Until this war is over I won't ever lose my rage
I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today
Burn me away, I wont give up tommorow just to lose it all, lose it all today

Beautiful song.. Althoug it is a bonus track, it is my favourite on the new album. Greetings from Croatia!
Corey's best lyrics are about himself and his personal experiences. He has an uncanny ability to articulate what's going on inside his head and though he seems like an otherwise pretty private person, he opens his heart so completely in his lyrics. Of course, naturally, this new vulnerability in his new songs makes people feel like Slipknot has sold out--which is completely stupid because the band (as a whole) has always written whatever they want. They've grown and changed, and you'd hope that their fans would understand that. But I digress....
I think this song came about at a particularly turbulent time in Corey's relationship with his ex-wife. I think it deals with his alcohol abuse and vices in general. These are themes that come up a few times on this album (i.e. Snuff). I also think that it has to do with him not seeing his kids as much as he wants--in the "Thanks" section of Come What(ever) May he thanks Griffin, Avarice and Angeline, so Avarice is one of his kids. The lyrics read in a completely different way when you know that. The beauty of Corey's lyrics though, is that they're so poetic you can glean whatever you want from them.
This song is AMAZING. I absolutely love it. ^_^
One of the best songs on All Hope is Gone, they should have added it on the album itself though.
i think this song is about his childhood, raised in poverty and all that, hence the name-the child of burning time. also if you know how he moved around from place to place as a youth this can be backed up from the line-The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back /he hasn't come back yet. think about it ay?
I like their new album. This song is kick ass.
