THE BURNING LYRICS

1. Underachievers Unite

We don’t fear failure
We don’t fear hate
We fear that the tables, we are turning, will turn too late…

We’re whipped
It pulls me under again
It pulls you under again
It pulls us under again

We don’t fear life
We don’t fear death
We fear that our hearts won’t catch the lies, in their every breath…

We’re whipped
It pulls me under again
It pulls you under again
It pulls us under again

Underachievers unite

We’re not out of breath
Success and life equals our death
You’ve been warned, you’ll be scorned
Won’t be pulled under again…

Under Under
Under Under
Under Under
Under Under

2. Kill The Swine

God knows, I’ve taken so much
Without ever giving back
Though alone I shall face this
I thank God for your patience

Make haste, I’m at my worst
Make haste, I’m at my worst

God knows, I’ve asked for so much
Without ever giving back
Though alone I shall face this
I thank God for your patience

Make haste, I’m at my worst
Make haste, I’m at my worst

All these years spent, as a man, as a man that only loved himself
All these years spent, I repent, I repent, I only helped myself…

Make haste, I’m at my worst
Make haste, I’m at my worst
Make haste, I’m at my worst
…At my worst

3. Dotted Line

We are their prey, taught to obey
We are their prey, taught to obey
But I refuse, yes I refuse, to give up on you
‘Cause I know you’re down there somewhere…

Life’s so sickening, just keep digging in
‘Till your nails fall off and your hands bleed dry
Pull through son
Life’s so sickening, just keep digging in
‘Till your nails fall off and your hands bleed dry
Pull through son

That’s why we pray, not to obey
That’s why we pray, not to obey
‘Cause we refuse, yes we refuse, to give up on you
‘Cause I know you’re down there somewhere…

Don’t think that things are fine
Don’t drink their poisonous win
Never trust their crooked spine…
And please don sign the dotted line
Don’t think that things are fine
Don’t drink their poisonous win
Never trust their crooked spine…
And please don sign the dotted line

Life’s so sickening, just keep digging in
‘Till your nails fall off and your hands bleed dry
Pull through son
Life’s so sickening, just keep digging in
‘Till your nails fall off and your hands bleed dry
Pull through son
Pull through son

4. Weakling

The ignorant, mute the wise, and drown out our cries
Our faith is breathing
Our doubt’s aware
That this will be our battle prayer…

Do we upset you? Do we upset you?
Did you not want to see us broken?
Fears are now confirmed
Fears are now confirmed
Fears are now confirmed
To fight you back is all we’ve learned

Ask the question, what in death?
Will we be cast out, or blessed
Will we survive it, will you prepare us?
”Don’t worry children, it’s all taken care of…”

Do we upset you? Do we upset you?
Did you not want to see us broken?
Fears are now confirmed
Fears are now confirmed
Fears are now confirmed
To fight you back is all we’ve learned

Please Father, please we’re ripped apart
Please shield their arrows from our hearts
Please Father, please just catch our tears
And please destroy our guilt and fears…

Weakling Weakling
Weakling Weakling

5. Last Living Hostage

Despite what I would have anyone believe
The taste has bittered through the years
My wings pale, weak and bend now take leave
Make precious words cut through my fears…

According to my client, there were promises made
And these were not fulfilled
You will meet his demands, or he will not release…
The last living hostage

Although I’ve been beaten with everything allowed
This will’s turned harder than your stones
I break not ‘cause I crumble, I purposely bow
As precious words saw through my bones

According to my client, there were promises made
And these were not fulfilled
You will meet his demands, or he will not release…
The last living hostage

Please, please, right my wrongs
Please, please, show them where I belong
Where I belong

According to my client, there were promises made
And these were not fulfilled
You will meet his demands, or he will not release…
The last living hostage

6. The Gospel

You’ve turned the lamb of God into the blackest sheep
Your twisted teachings make me weep
Suffering youth caught in the debris of passed down Christianity
As Jesus whispers softly, please let go of me (before I…)

Suffocate
Suffocate
Suffocate
Eyes roll to the back of my head

The shepherd’s revolution is erased to be replaced
His love and grace turned to disgrace
Didn’t he teach us not to condemn
To love our enemies and pray for them
As Jesus whispers softly, please don’t be like them

Suffocate
Suffocate
Suffocate
Eyes roll to the back of my head

I cannot stop, I’ve come too far, and I refuse to end up like you
What you’re set free through, is what deceives you
Forgiveness is an aim, not something you just claim
But I forgive you
But I forgive you

7. Warhorse

OK, I get it, this is the fall of man
I’m in, show me the preacher’s battle plan
I’ll go to any length to act out beliefs
That my mouth seems to speak with such ease…
Oh no!

The last throes of our foes
Your warhorse won’t bleed this rose…

To regain my all, I might be forced to fall
To regain what’s worth all, I might even be forced to crawl
I’ll go to any length to act out beliefs
That my mouth seems to speak with such ease…
Oh no!

The last throes of our foes
Your warhorse won’t bleed this rose…

Warhorse
Warhorse

8. Fire

It’s in our blood, it’s in our hearts, can we ever tell that apart?
Fire
No knock on our door, as guilt arrives, cause of watered down selfish lives
Fire…

We strive, it yearns
We live, it burns
We strive, it yearns
We live, it burns

I know we’ve won these battles before, but we are heading for a bigger war
Fire
And please tell us why our scars and tears haven’t had a place to rest for years
Fire…

We strive, it yearns
We live, it burns
We strive, it yearns
We live, it burns

The fire burns
The fire burns
The fire burns

9. Snakes Of Life

I have denied myself what you can’t live without
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
The whistling songs of whips, didn’t make me doubt
You wanna know why it didn’t?
You wanna know why it didn’t?

I fought the snake…

The serpent’s tongue
The truth cut with a thousand knives
The serpent’s tongue
The true reason for our venomous lives

And every time I’ve failed I have made amends
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
I never climbed the stairs, at your expense
You wanna know why I didn’t?
You wanna know why I didn’t?

I fought the snake…

The serpent’s tongue
The truth cut with a thousand knives
The serpent’s tongue
The true reason for our venomous lives

You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
I looked the snake right in the eyes and then I turned…

I turned away…

I turned I turned
I turned I turned

10. End Of All

I’m all caught up in my empty pursuits, and pale-faced falsehoods
Forced to my knees
And all this fighting for a worthless result, betrayed, burned, no good
Down on my knees…

This is the end of all that stands
This is the end of all that stands

‘Cause I can’t walk one mile in darkness, without your light there
Forced to my kneed
And how much sense can you make of the failure, that lies before you
Down on his knees…

This is the end of all that stands
This is the end of all that stands

If all death is certain, I’ll have mine tonight
I will not suffer under life, with people as my guide
No!

11. Storm The Walls

I
I’ve failed, I ring false
But my heart still breaks every time I’m lost and he calls
I
I feel so ashamed
Even though I spit in his fire, I can’t kill his flame
Can’t kill his flame

I will not be judged by my failures
I will not be overlooked, but for scars
I will not be judged by my failures…
But by my scars

I
I’ve returned the calls
Now every time they’re at the gates, I’m up on the walls
I
I feel so ashamed
But in the eyes of with whom we deal, I know I’m reclaimed
I’ll be reclaimed, before him
Forever…

…And everything turns quiet

These scars will prove the fighting
This candle proves the light

I will not be judged by my failures
I will not be overlooked, but for scars
I will not be judged by my failures…
But by my scars

12. Hours (Kill The Swine Part Ii)

As you can tell from these red eyes
I lost a lot of hours thinking of this
They’ve besieged your love…

Fear in your veins, blood in mine
Protest his reign, kill the swine
Fear in your veins, blood in mine…
Destroy his reign

You suffered more from who loved you
That from the ones they’ve been guarding you from
They’ve besieged your love…

Fear in your veins, blood in mine
Protest his reign, kill the swine
Fear in your veins, blood in mine…
Destroy his reign

I’ll fight it to know its strength
Although your spirit says no
I will not fail you…
These seeds won’t sow

Hours….
