Burn Me Alive

I want to feel your burn
Set me ablaze as an effigy
Ignite me from within

You struck me down like the hand of god
Collateral of your flatlined heart
Is this how you leave your promised mark?
Turning deception into an art
Forever playing the victim card
With crosshairs set on your mark
Like prey in the mouth of a lion
Violently torn apart

Maybe you'll meet me in another life
Things will be different this time
Maybe the flame was always meant to die
Inside it's burning me alive

Inside it's burning me alive
Inside it's burning me alive

Crippled by the burdens of weakness
A slave to my own self doubt
I'm at war with the human condition
Will I ever be set free?
Or will the heavens forsake me?

To exist as this empty shell
The closest thing on earth to hell
The integrity meant to fail
A Deathgrip held onto my final farewell
The parasite in me that I can never kill

So cleanse me of your energy
Because I've got my own story to tell

Maybe you'll meet me in another life
(Maybe you'll meet me)
Things will be different this time
(Different this time)
Maybe the flame was always meant to die

Existence is not for me
Return me from whence I came
Strip away my identity
Return me to the void

May the hand of god
Strike me down
