In Flames

Gary Hughes


The time has come 
There's no other way now 
This crime is done 
It tore what remained of our reason 
'Right' is gone 
This 'Wrong' is the shame 
As it buries the soul for your treason 

This night has come 
It falls from the rain clouds 
This blight is done 
Flawed with the stains from your scheming 
'Sight' is gone 
We're 'blind' by the pain 
So we stab at the heart of the demon 

Crawl out, bruised by the landslide 
Fools fate, destiny's jaws 
Ground down, used and abused by 
Love like a silent blade 
Shout; bleed as the dammed die 
Too late, venom and claws, 
Gouged out, wounded and tongue tied 
Love 
Love cuts you down in flames 

This plight has come 
Full circle again now 
But what was done 
Can't be erased to redeem her 
Trust is gone 
The people are shamed 
She must burn at the stake to appease them 

Crawl out, bruised by the landslide 
Fools fate, destiny's jaws 
Ground down, used and abused by 
Love like a silent blade 
Shout; bleed as the dammed die 
Too late, venom and claws, 
Gouged out, wounded and tongue tied 
Love 
Love cuts you down in flames
