waiting for the ax to come falling

bracing for the stones that we know so well

blistered and bruised,

while we suffer through you...

all to allow you enough rope to hang yourselves



(chorus)

were burning,

burning so patiently.

get out while you can, this house is coming down.

there will be nothing left.

burning,

burning, so patiently.



and you know how it is...

all of this time and so little has changed.

the powers that be

assuming authority.

have you no memory of how this always ends?



repeat chorus



with...



(bridge)

turn the shiv inward.

we understand.

guilty as hell,

with my own sins to tell

black sheep can still smell their own

now the witches are smiling.

as only they can...

burned free of the stake, its you well embrace.

and when this is over, well see whos left

standing.



burning



repeat chorus
