Slipknot – Child of Burning Time

[Intro]

Child of burning time

Child of burning time

[Verse 1]

My only consolation is lies

The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight

Winter hasn't ended, and it always looks like rain

I can't remember anything, anything

Inside the absolution, we succumb

And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb

A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret

The child of burning time is gone, he hasn't come back yet

[Bridge]

Oh…

Oh…

[Verse 2]

Before I tell my story, please consider who I am

I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can

A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end, they go away

My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame

I cut my name, into my heart, I'll tear it all apart

[Chorus]

I beg you, burn me away

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved

Burn me away

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today

[Refrain]

I'll burn away

I'll burn away

I'll burn away

I'll burn away

[Verse 3]

My isolation is my course

The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source

I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame

Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage

I cut my name, into my soul, I guess I'll never know

[Chorus]

I beg you, burn me away

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved

Burn me away

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today

Burn me away (burn me away!)

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved

Burn me away (burn me away!)

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today
