Slipknot Child of Burning Time song lyrics
The child of burning time
The child of burning time
My only consolation is a lie
(Is a lie)
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
(Is dying here tonight)
Winter hasn't ended and it always looks like rain
(It always looks like rain)
I can't remember anything
(Anything)
Inside the absolution, we succumb
(Inside the absolution, we succumb)
And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb
(I think I'm going numb)
A chance to give up avarice has marked my one regret
(Has marked my one regret)
The child of burning time is gone
And he hasn't come back
He hasn't come back yet
Before I tell my story, please consider who I am
(Consider who I am)
I missed my window years ago
I'm doing all I can
(I'm doing all I can)
A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end they go away
(In the end they go away)
My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in
I'm left to wear in shame
I cut my name
(I cut my name)
Into my heart
(Into my heart)
I'll tear it all apart
I beg you
Burn me away
(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
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
My isolation is my course
(My isolation is my course)
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source
(A cancer on its source)
I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame
(The fetish and the flame)
Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage
(Ever lose my rage)
I cut my name
(I cut my name)
Into my soul
(Into my soul)
I guess I'll never know
I beg you
Burn me away
(Burn me away)
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
(Fight the life I saved)
Burn me away
(Burn me away)
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today
(Lose it all today)
Burn me away
(Burn me away)
(Burn me away)
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
(Fight the life I saved)
Burn me away
(Burn me away)
(Burn me away)
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all
lose it all today
