burning the temples
lyrics & text by amarevois
well it’s too late to change the guard - the feeling’s over
and they’re gathering - in my backyard
and it’s too late to close the door - the wind is blowing
so much colder - than before
maybe i loved you once baby
but now i love you - so much more
and i'm burning my temples down
the faith we spend so wisely with who we are
yet we hold on to this life like we believe it's our last card
now we hang inside this moment and all is still
the silence of the soul needs no more space to fill
when reason has left us all standing
under a sky that we cannot rely upon
the time has come to lift our freedom high
well i hear the sound of the flames around me
with my feet on the ground - the heavens confound me
well i won't be found when they search the debris
time - time
this prayer doesn't serve me
and i'm burning…
