Lyrics of 'Burn' by OLD FOES

Sight revived, I noticed I’ve been sleeping far too long
Filled and idle waiting while the maestros wrote their songs
Herded in with introverts who never even want to play, until
One by one they disappear to skip the losing game
Anything to save me from my fate of blending in
And maybe if I crack my shell, there will be light in dying skin
And maybe we can find a life when all our life is spent, but
For now it seems we’ll burn until the end

Don’t want to war against the tyrant if there’s nothing in his stead
Do I have to burn against the witch if her curses go unsaid?
Avoided being broken, now you don’t feel a thing
The bones are starved for battle, quiet’s making your ears ring

Don’t want to sing depressing lyrics warn the world the end is nigh or
Sound the horn to bask in fame, like you, before we die
Blind your eyes to wisdom shared or any lesson learned, but don’t act surprised
When you’re the one who’s burned
And maybe we can find a life when all our life is spent, but
For now it seems we’ll burn until the end

Back at the ledge where I leapt, a tender memories left
Of feeling like, at least, I knew the score
Maybe I lied to myself, lying awake in the cell
And maybe now it’s time that I soared
I won’t sit by the television and watch them all live their lives
Might as well sprint on towards the cliff and hope to God that I fly
Come on! Why do you think you want to wait?
What Armageddon? Want to save the date?
If so fine, just save me a plate. We’ll let the other crowd warm themselves by the lake

Don’t want to sing depressing lyrics warn the world the end is nigh or
Sound the horn to bask in fame, like you, before we die
Blind your eyes to wisdom shared or any lesson learned, but don’t act surprised
When you’re the one who’s burned
And maybe we can find a life when all our life is spent, but
For now it seems we’ll burn until the end
