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…
