Lyrics

Sorting through the refuse, shedding off the
skin
Peeling the age, the toxin that I bring
I sit and watch the fire, where the princes sat
Can hear their inspiration, the creaking
figures black
Keep the fires burning
A thousand miles have past between us
I ain’t turning back
The setting sun was so deceiving
It turned the oceans black
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
The crescent moon persuading, the light
beyond in space
To touch you in your exile and kiss your cold,
hard face
My mortal heart is heaving as embers rise
up high
You’re a witness to our secrets, watching
with that smile
Keep the fires burning
A thousand miles have past between us
I ain’t turning back
The setting sun was so deceiving
It turned the oceans black
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Been in a desert, concrete for miles
3 a.m. vigils under neon lights
Consuming myself
10 tons down my spine
Salt on the tongue to dampen the lies
Burn it out, burn it out
