Slipknot — Child of Burning Time

[Intro] Child of burning time Child of burning time [Verse 1] My only consolation is all lies The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight Winter hasn't ended, and it always looks like rain I can't remember anything, anything Inside the absolution, we succumb And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret The child of burning time is gone, he hasn't come back yet [Verse 2] 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 My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame [Pre-Chorus] I cut my name into my heart I'll tear it all apart [Chorus] 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 tomorrow just to lose it all today [Post-Chorus] I'll burn away I'll burn away I'll burn away I'll burn away [Verse 3] My isolation is my course The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage [Pre-Chorus] I cut my name into my soul I guess I'll never know [Chorus] 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 tomorrow just to lose it all today Burn me away I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved Burn me away I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today
