Heaven - Burn

To Rate
The show was out and the crowd was gone
And in the backstage alley
I came across a broken man
There in hell's own galley

He grabbed my hand, said, "Listen, please
You see, my time is fading
Long ago and far away
I used to hold them waiting"

The flames reached for the sky
I heard the masses cry "More, more"
He told me of his life
But time had passed him by
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn
Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Reachin' for thе sky, but never lettin' go
Burnin' in my еyes, burnin' in my soul
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn

Lost in the scene of neon dreams
I listened to his story
Among the bins of thrown-out sins
He spoke of his lost glory

He dared the gods and played the odds
Each night he'd take them higher
Out of their cage, onto the stage
To walk within the fire

The flames reached for the sky
I heard the masses cry "More, more"
He told me of his life
But time had passed him by
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn

Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Reachin' for the sky, but never lettin' go
Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn
He closed his eyes as if to cry
I turned to see him leaving
And with his wine, this ghost in time
Slipped back into the evening

And at my feet, there in the street
Its chrome all scratched and gleaming
Was his guitar, complete with scars
And in my ears the screaming

The flames reached for the sky
I heard the masses cry "More, more"
He told me of his life
But time had passed him by
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn

Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Reachin' for the sky, but never lettin' go
Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Reachin' for the sky, never lettin' go

Burnin' in my eyes, burnin' in my soul
Reachin' for the sky, never lettin' go
Then and there I knew it was my turn to burn
