A Whole World Burns Lyrics

The seed of jealousy is sown
I cannot resist it's cry
Shrill in my mind it grows
A pitch to crack the skies
Slowly the fire burns
As passion wanes thin
A calm exhale of breath
Our time will draw in

Ill temptation circles overhead
A vulture picks its time
To drag you to his bed
My fear overtakes my will
Swept into the flood
Old trappings hold sway still

The tides calm their waves
I wait in dark silence
The fool in my mind relates
My fears retreat within
Your intention may be pure
But the mind can create
Such terrible shapes in the dark
Twisting truth beyond what's right

Ill temptation circles overhead
A vulture picks its time
To drag you to his bed
I wait in silent protest
For all to become clear
Only then do I understand my mistake

Rain settles on cold ground
With all our words finally said
Alone here I listen to the sound
Too little too late to make amends

Too little too late and our whole world burns
