Burn


You are the one, the devil’s due
The me I see when I see you
The silence found within the storm
From snowy wastes you keep me warm
The time has come to pay our price
To bribe the Fates with sacrifice
We can’t undo the love we made
We consummate what was forbade

Hand in hand, holding tight
We will burn into the night
Against the end, we shall fight
In the darkness, we’re starlight

The murderous murmurs and whispering winds
Hold us accountable for our sins
No outrunning the mirror’s glare
Nowhere to fly as angel’s dare
Is this the end, or just the start?
Is that our footsteps or my heart?
With the strength your lips impart
No force can pull our love apart.

Hand in hand, holding tight
We will burn into the night
Against the end, we shall fight
In the darkness, we’re starlight
No remorse and no more shame
We did what must be in love’s name
Breaking chains and never tamed
In the dark, we are a flame

Is this the only way for us? To let us become free?
Is this the path Fate laid for us? Were we not meant to be?
To defy both man and god, To become flesh to flesh
To answer our bodies’ call, Damnation enmeshed.

Let me know if you are sure
That we should burn what is impure
Our broken lives to be made whole
Our love reborn with Pheonix souls
To live beyond the grasp of pain
To escape the punitive disdain
One step into the open void
This hollow hell will be destroyed

Hand in hand, holding tight
We will burn into the night
Against the end, we shall fight
In the darkness, we’re starlight
No remorse and no more shame
We did what must be in love’s name
Breaking chains and never tamed
In the dark, we are a flame
Free from the asylum of mind,
The prison of flesh and a world unkind
As it dims, and all grows colder
Our ember hearts forever smoulder.

No shame, no blame.
Aflame.
