| BURNING REMAINS (November 19, 1994) Forging the present from the distant past Building the bridge out of memories from old Climbing the ladder to the top Of the world I can't even recall her eyes I can't even recall her face But I seem to remember the lies And the burning remains Casual friendships that dissipate fog Lifting the burden it seems for a day Digging a hole and stepping inside Of the grave I can't even recall eyes I can't even recall her name But I seem to remember the lies And the burning remains (chorus) I heard a voice calling my name Clear as a still crystal lake now But I wanted to swelter and I wanted to sweat And I wanted to purge all my sins now Casting the dice against the weighted odds Praying those eyes don't look into mine Calculate chances of winning it all Every time I can't even recall her eyes I can't even recall her face But I seem to remember the lies And the burning remains Stepping back dodging the knife swinging low All it would take is just one simple step Slicing the strings of the past that I've held For so long I can't even recall her eyes I can't even recall her name Bit I seems to remember the lies And the burning remains (to chorus) There is a place where I long to be I know it can calm all my fears (repeat vs. 1 and 2, then chorus) | |
