Lyrics

The Body Burned Away

[Verse 1]

Death as it shook you

You gave it a fool's look

You said I am an empty page to you

Give me your hand

Give me your blood

[Verse 2]

Don't misunderstand

I once had all the words

I forgot all the words

Held the binding lightning

I held the binding lightning

Began to burn away

We began to burn away

Held the binding lightning

We held the binding lightning

[Refrain]

Began to burn away

Began to burn away

Body burns away

Body burns away

Body burns away

Body burns away

Body burns away

Body burns away

Ooh

Ooh
