Anachronaeon - To Ashes lyrics

Years went by without a sign I moved around in different towns God covered my tracks so I could roam free Until the day when He would call for me Now I lived as a guest With a hospital widow and her kids In a small town by the countryside Where I could find some rest I started to wonder if this life could be mine Away from the k**ing and a life on the run Was it possible that my future could be In the shape of good times, could I finally be free? But God called for me one cold starlit night And reminded me of my work This time he demanded cleansing fire To prevent me from straying from the path of His light Everyone was asleep, I could hear them breathing In the house so cozy and warm I went downstairs and poured gasoline Stolen from a neighbor's barn And I wept when I lit up the house But I will be rewarded in the afterlife I ran into the night, I could hear their screams As I cried for them and my shallow dreams Miles up the road a few days later I saw the headlines about the fire They blamed the neighbor farmer And charged him of fulfilling his arson desire
