Performance
Fields of living fire
You’ll see me reaching into the air
The shadow of a survivor
I turn around, but there’s no one there
I’ve been looking for a reason
Some poisons taste like the sweetest wine
But all I ever believed in
Was all the things that I couldn’t find

[Chorus]
The fires burn, erasing all the traces
And I spread the ashes all across the sky
Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces
To the darkness of my heart and mind
Hear the cries and the whispers
The touch-and-go of another night
The afterglow of desire
Shines with the flame of a lesser light
A line of nameless faces
Fading away in a sea of time
Another time and place is
The last belief of performing mind

[Chorus]
The fires burn, erasing all the traces
And I spread the ashes all across the sky
Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces
To the darkness of my heart and mind
In a room without a view
There’s a story without end
Every time the answer shows
Then another hides away

[Chorus]
The fires burn, erasing all the traces
And I spread the ashes all across the sky
Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces
To the darkness of my heart and mind
