The Dear Hunter - The Fire (Remains) lyrics
[The Dear Hunter - The Fire Remains lyrics]
For so long have my teeth held
My tongue from a venomous voice
(From a venomous voice)
But the poison has passed from
My lips to my hands, an incendiary ploy
(And Hell will open up it's flue) I bare
My soul through the flames before me
(And you will witness what the fire can undo)
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
The id dots the i's of antiquity
While the ego, of late, has held sway
Too foolish to stray past the line
But too weary to stay too weary to stay
Far too long have I waited
To witness the balances bend
(The balances bend)
In the favor of wrongs being remedied
Wickedness coming to an end
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
Far beyond the act, I will be whole again
A phoenix out of the flame
I'm burying that menace in a memory
A funeral held in my name
The ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky
As the building continues to burn
The wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave
As the lies are retired to the urn
But we can't keep the embers from catching
The truth from destroying us all
Do I die as the martyr or
Miscreant? I'll make the call
I'll make the call
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
Far beyond the act, I will be whole again
A phoenix out of the flame
I'm burying that menace in my memory
A funeral held in my name held in my name
Brothers and sisters
My tongue from a venomous voice
(From a venomous voice)
But the poison has passed from
My lips to my hands, an incendiary ploy
(And Hell will open up it's flue) I bare
My soul through the flames before me
(And you will witness what the fire can undo)
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
The id dots the i's of antiquity
While the ego, of late, has held sway
Too foolish to stray past the line
But too weary to stay too weary to stay
Far too long have I waited
To witness the balances bend
(The balances bend)
In the favor of wrongs being remedied
Wickedness coming to an end
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
Far beyond the act, I will be whole again
A phoenix out of the flame
I'm burying that menace in a memory
A funeral held in my name
The ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky
As the building continues to burn
The wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave
As the lies are retired to the urn
But we can't keep the embers from catching
The truth from destroying us all
Do I die as the martyr or
Miscreant? I'll make the call
I'll make the call
Far from the ash, I will be born again
Where every debt is repaid
Nothing left to keep me out of paradise
As portrait's of the past fade away
Far beyond the act, I will be whole again
A phoenix out of the flame
I'm burying that menace in my memory
A funeral held in my name held in my name
Brothers and sisters
