Burning

Each flame gives rise to another,
The fires gather together,
Burning a hole through my soul,
Leaving a deep, dark hole,
I know peace no more,
I know joy no more,
I live in a place of fear,
Losing everything I hold dear.

I see it all falling one by one,
Darkness, no more sun,
I’m afraid to gain lest I lose,
All I hold dear and choose,
I pray to God in heaven,
That he may bless that which I am given,
Is there anything left in me to redeem,
Or the call of death is mine it may seem.

I’m burning and I don’t know who to call,
I am ready to fall,
I feel all alone,
All those around are gone,
There’s nothing left for me,
Lord free me,
Take away these burdens and chains,
I tire of this life of no gains.
