The Burning of Cork Lyrics
Again
And again
'Cause it hurts
But it will burn
I know the smell
As it turns
Out a sound[?]
You will learn it's just as well
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
We get the sentiment
As you brought a city built and burnt
Again
You pretend
It's all her
And it hurts and you have learned
That it burns
And it burns
And it burns
I know you stop at nothing to show you [?]
As I do [?]
Most people say you have nothing
How would they know if it's true?
Again
And again
And again
And again
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it
