The Burning Lyrics

There's a place that I come from
Where the disenchanted live alone
And it rains all day and the nights are cold
Would you dare to wish for something more

I have turned laughter to tears, punched my way to get here
Stole the fruit, bruised the skin from the heart of the innocent
Still you forgive

Where would I be without you
I couldn't live without you
You are the reason that I breathe

I won't look down, my eyes are fixed ahead now
No words of pain will pass between my lips
A thousand miles starts with a single footstep
No regrets, it's my time, can't forget my lifeline
As for me I'll make my peace on earth

Church bells ring, sound like a song
Of a time we knew long and gone
I'll break away in the dead of night
And all that I knew, I'll sever that line

There is a riot inside, torn between truth and my pride
Will I have to learn to compromise
Don't look back or for revenge
To the point where you descend
Stand at your post while the weak pass by
Show the world how a man should be

I won't look down, my eyes are fixed ahead now
No words of pain will pass between my lips
A thousand miles starts with a single footstep
No regrets, it's my time, can't forget my lifeline
As for me I'll make my peace on earth
