Burn Away

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Ash on the altar where the candle burned low

I traded my shadow for a name I don't know

Seven doors open in the marrow of night

The river remembers what the mountain forgot

Verse 2

Carry the cinder and the cinder carries me

Old gods are sleeping underneath the machine

Iron and incense on a cold iron tongue

We were ancient before we were young

Chorus

Burn away burn away

Everything I used to say

Burn away burn away

Let the smoke decide the way

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Mirrors are liars with a beautiful face

Time is a temple with no holy place

I carved my questions in the bark of a stone

The answer came back and it came back alone

Chorus

Burn away burn away

Everything I used to say

Burn away burn away

Let the smoke decide the way

Post-Chorus

Higher higher higher

(Higher higher higher)

Fire fire fire

(Fire fire fire)

Breakdown

Slow the pulse

Slow the sky

Everything that lives must try

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Burn away burn away

Everything I used to say

Burn away burn away

Let the smoke decide the way

Post-Chorus

Higher higher higher

(Higher higher higher)

Fire fire fire

(Fire fire fire)
