One who's scorched by the fire,I stand alone brazen-faced

Love's become an open fumace,my follies stoked the fireplace

Blind to the peril around me,my resistance wearing thin

I fell prey to the power of temptation,and the brand of infidelity kissed

My skin

With each kiss a heart breaking,with a touch her love dies for me

Slowly desintegrates

Blackned by coals of deception,I cry for redemption far too late

Here today, gone tomorrow

Trail of tears leads to sorrow

Leads to sorrow

Alone I wallow in my suffering

So much regret behind my stare

Is love lost or just misplaced?

Can a heart broken be repaired?

With each thought conscience burning,with a sign her love dies for me

Cannot exonerate

Eyes filled with discontent,I plead for forgiveness far too late

Here today, gone tomorrow

Trail of tears leads to sorrow

No reprieve,despite your wishing

Trust betrayed,now she's missing

Her image you cannot replace

Missing,you hope to reconcile,but you've lost face

With each day soul searching,with the night I cry

"Restore me,reverse this morose state

Never again shall I falter,afford me this one mistake"

Fear today,loathe tomorrow

Trail of Tears leads to sorrow

Dream of when you were kissing

So aware of what you're missing
