waiting for the ax to come falling

bracing for the stones that we know so well

blistered and bruised, 

while we suffer through you...

all to allow you enough rope to hang yourselves


(chorus)

we're burning,

burning so patiently.

get out while you can, this house is coming down.

there will be nothing left.

burning, 

burning, so patiently.


and you know how it is...

all of this time and so little has changed.

the powers that be

assuming authority.

have you no memory of how this always ends?


with...


(bridge)

turn the shiv inward.

we understand.

guilty as hell,

with my own sins to tell

black sheep can still smell their own

now the witches are smiling.

as only they can...

burned free of the stake, it's you we'll embrace.

and when this is over, we'll see who's left standing.
