I burn

Driftin' upward
gently liftin'
lazy on the wind
rollin' over
turnin' slowly
beginning and the end
fire is bright
fire is clean
never so alive
smoke is freedom
flame is mercy
i am free tonight
and i burn
i burn

Stoke the embers
cleanse the spirit
a prayer in every spark
feel the lick of
bad religion
the finish and the start
in the beginning
we were smarter
n' flame was heaven sent
through the ages
we got stupid
now we must repent
and i burn
i burn
Save the ashes
for reminders
stony things remain
tooth and bone
unimpressive
i have left these things
because fire is bright
fire is clean
efficient and divine
tooth and bone
charms and dolls
i am free tonight
I burn the air you breathe
i burn the air you breathe
i burn the air you breathe
i burn i burn i burn i burn
