The city is on fire
My anger oh, so dire
The fire burns to the bone
Charring the brain and leaving the stone

I'm burning on again
I'm going through again

Oh, my mother never loved me
My mother never loved me
My mother never loved me
Don't blame me

I am the ultimate
The one legitimate
The city burning away
My own Gomorrah on judgement day

The purifying blast
The echoes from the past
Inside and all around me
The city's burning, the city in me

Oh, my mother never loved me
My mother never loved me
My mother never loved me
Don't blame me

The sun is so high above me
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder

Come back and hold me tight
Lead me into the light
Come take my hand and say I am not to blame

A burning man and fire in his wake
Razing all within the very core
A burning man at self-erected stake
To feel what he's burning for

Flames go up so high
The fire is so high

And the walls fall down on me again
And the fire peels my skin
Once again I burn to make it real
For the peace the fire brings
