Slipknot – Child Of Burning Time lyrics

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 can't 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 it's 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 Explain Request ×
