Child of Burning Time Slipknot

[Intro]
Child of burning time
Child of burning time

[Verse 1]
My only consolation is all lies
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
Winter hasn't ended, and it always looks like rain
I can't remember anything, anything
Inside the absolution, we succumb
And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb
A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret
The child of burning time is gone, he hasn't come back yet

[Verse 2]
Before I tell my story, please, consider who I am
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can
A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end, they go away
My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame

[Pre-Chorus]
I cut my name into my heart
I'll tear it all apart

[Chorus]
I beg you, burn me away
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today
