Through The Flames

A memory it fades as the time flickers past
 A lifetime of pain and death outlasting
 As the blossoms they fall on a stiff northern wind
 My eyes trace the path to take refuge within
 And life leaves me in darkness
 A sin left me here in utter shame
 As my memory holds thoughts of former gladness
 For you to judge my battered soul remains
 Look away, look away
 Tis' the day when your fathers be calling your name
 Look away, look away
 Lift your eyes to the cross as we walk through the flames
 Kiss your kids and your wife, turn your back to the light
 Cuz' we'll burn all that's left so my boys look away
 We traced the green fields as our hearts raced along
 Warm winds filled our breath the trees were singing
 An innocence spent under blue skies carefree
 A life looking back blessed with fortune were we
 And life leaves me in darkness
 A sin left me here in utter shame
 As my memory holds thoughts of former gladness
 For you to judge my battered soul remains
