Casey Crescenzo - The Fire (Remains) lyrics

For so long have my teeth held my tongue from a venomous voice But the poison has pa**ed from my lips to my hands An incendiary ploy Hell will open up it's flue (I bare my soul through the flames before me) And you will witness what the fire can undo Far from the ash I will be born again Where every debt is repaid Nothing left to keep me out of paradise As portraits of the past fade away The id dots the eyes of antiquity While the ego, of late, has held sway Too foolish to stray past the line, but too weary to stay... Too weary to stay Far too long have I waited to witness the balances bend In the favor of wrongs being remedied Wickedness coming to an end Far from the ash I will be born again Where every debt is repaid Nothing left to keep me out of paradise As portraits of the past fade away Far beyond the act I will be whole again A phoenix out of the flame I'm burying that menace in a memory A funeral held in my name The ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky As the building continues to burn The wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave As the lies are retired to the urn But we can't keep the embers from catching The truth from destroying us all Do I die as the martyr or miscreant? I'll make the call Far from the ash I will be born again Where every debt is repaid Nothing left to keep me out of paradise As portraits of the past fade away Far beyond the act I will be whole again A phoenix out of the flame I'm burying that menace in my memory A funeral held in my name
