Burn

Replace me with a pawn
A victim unaware
The shepherd appointed to a corpse
Bound to the burn

Bound to the burn
Collected from my cross
Before my breathing stops
A testament to routine sacrifice

A casket calls my name
Cast from my constraint
My final fleeting flame
Will remain asleep
While my airways fill with smoke
How I long to watch the curtains close

Bound to the burn
My calling compromised
Bound to the burn
My dedication dies

Bound to the burn
Let me leave
I've given enough

Replace me with a pawn
A victim unaware
The shepherd appointed to a corpse
Bound to the burn

A casket calls my name
Cast from my constraint
My final fleeting flame
Will remain asleep
While my airways fill with smoke
How I long to watch the curtains close
I sing while my airways fill with smoke
How I long to watch the curtains close

Let me leave
I've given enough
