Burn For This

Bury me hastely no sunshine for me Love lost im hurting im to blind to see The shame of this deed is to heavy to hold Throw me to the wolves im burdened and old Surely ill burn for this Surely ill burn for this Soaked in this guilt like wet clothes on my soul Surely burning for all the lies that ive told Hello old friend i welcome your blanket of flames Your dark black eyes and your numerous names Surely ill burn for this Surely ill burn for this Ive lost again and my fates in your hands Your words like hammers smash my heart into sand Broken and ill from this life of sin As you look down at my end with a *****eating grin Surely ill burn for this Surely ill burn for this I cry out god save me it does me no good Hes never there when you think that he should For i am a man alone with temptation Appetite for the wicked a deadly sensation Surely ill burn for this Surely ill burn for this

I loved the imagery. Particularly the line, "throw me to the wolves . . ." Wow. Broken and ill . . . Then you followed up by making me chuckle with, "he's never there . . ." Nice one. I enjoyed this.
