[B5]Child of burning time
[C5]

[Verse 2]
My [B5]only [C5]con [D]sola[C5]tion i[B5]s all li[C5]es
The [B5]apex [C5]of my[D] c[C5]on sequence
[B5]is dying[C5] here tonight

[G]A t[B5]ragedy i[C5]s com[D]monpla[C5]ce

[Verse 7]
My isola[C5]tion [B5]is my cours[C5]e
The ef[B5]fect it has on [C5]life
itself is a cancer on its source
I [B5]rue the moments [A]spent between
[B5]the [C5]fetish and the flame
Un[B5]til this war is [C5]over,[B5]
I won't [C5]ever lose my [B5]rage

I cut [B5]my name into my soul
I guess I'll never [Bm]know[B5]

[Verse 9]
I beg [D]you, burn me [Bm]away

Just [A]to [B5]lose it all [Bm]today[D]
Burn me [Bm]away[B5]
I [D]won't become your hero
Just to [B5]fight the life I [D]saved
Burn me [Bm]away[B5]
I [D]won't give up tomorrow
Just to [B5]lose it [G]all, [Bm]lose it all today
