I sit at the side of a flare As lonely as a soul can be So close to flame that it hurts Tongue of flame That hurts inside Chorus: Tongue of flame Can't sleep at night Tongue of flame Can't lie to myself Tongue of flame I'm weakening in grief Tongue of flame Painful tongue of flame I cry my tears away I scream out the pain I look inside the fire I lose myself in flames [Chorus] Grief alternates With wrath again Lunacy fills the emptiness I become one with flames And never look back
