Poem
tears... filled with the years of a love lost ..and of the cost they have shed as i have bled -- left scarred with wounds that never heal -- the kind of stuff that stays in your head ..just can't forget but can never reveal -- man with an iron will -- determination of a mission keeps "sanity" at the helm patience is the struggle that time must endure to regain a new life and a love re-born *[ chorus ]* burn a memory to fuel the fire that drives desire even higher no matter how much the mind will tire endure what transpires or be labeled a liar sworn to a quest with no end this was known before it began complete another cycle and come back empty-handed then start all over again ..this is how it is ..this is how it's been good men commit to righteousness while sinners continue to sin where shall the pain be sent to keep the shame dormant? walking around in circles feet now swollen and purple precious time was ill-spent *[ chorus ]* burn a memory to fuel the fire that drives desire even higher no matter how much the mind will tire endure what transpires or be labeled a liar a lesson lived is a lesson learned to look the other way your head must turn and to put it behind you ..just keep on walking... ignore the ghosts of the past that keep talking haunting thoughts of an era forgot -- some things are better not remembered -- all the blood dropped from a merciless onslaught just because no one surrendered this is when no one wins the pain still lingers let's not pretend... no need to point fingers *[ chorus ]* burn a memory to fuel the fire that drives desire even higher no matter how much the mind will tire endure what transpires or be labeled a liar no coward nor a quitter more like a go-getter staying clever is far better walk with a clean conscience factor out coincidence mind set on retrieving the one thing that is now just a memory ..forever wondering -- surrender to the suffering -- strong is he who overcomes misery and doesn't proceed to feed on self-pity ~Boz~
