The Man Who Burned the Lake

I was walking through the red forest
On a still winters night,
When the wrath came down upon me
In the form of fire
She said do not deter
Against your truest thoughts
It'll lead you down a path
Of which you won't return.
From all indication
My condition
Is deteriorating.
Afraid of not the mountains burning in the sky,
Nor her icy gaze upon me,
Nor the cold grasp of her arms,
Afraid of where this world may take me
And of what I can destroy,
The power in these hands,
The power in this heart.
We are the ones who burned the world
We are the ones who burned the world
They call me the man who had burned the lake
I was brought up in a surrogate home
Was married to industrial shadow
Everything that fell within the silhouette wilted and faded
But in the shrouds there were true believers
Bound on Earth, but not in heaven,
And they would use their power to hope
Constant in prayer
Presently I’m on a death watch
They rest in piece
But I know their time will soon be up
(But where are they?)
I want to see you in the night
(Please promise me)
We know what time we’re taking
(You will act accordingly)
I want to see you in the night
(That you will act as I stated)
We are the ones who burned the world
(Your friend in Christ)
They call me the man who had burned the lake
I'll be the one they destroy at the stake
They call me the man who had
They call me the man who had
They call me the man who had burned the lake
