I Burn

Driftin' upward Gently lifting Lazy on the wind Rollin' over Turnin' slowly Beginning and the end Fire is bright Fire is clean Never so alive Smoke is freedom Flame is mercy I am free tonight And I burn I burn Stoke the embers Cleanse the spirit A prayer in every spark Feel the lick of Bad religion The finish and the start In the beginning We were smarter 'N flame was heaven-sent Through the ages We got stupid Now we must repent And I burn I burn Sift the ashes For reminders Stony things remain Tooth and bone Unimpressive I have left these things Because fire is bright Fire is clean Efficient and divine Tooth and bone Charms and dolls I am free tonight I burn The air You breathe I burn The air You breathe I burn The air You breathe I burn! I burn! I burn! I burn!
