Blistering Fire

Ice blistering in the freezing fire
Excuse the mass appeal 
Of sleazing through the gutters.

Til now, we've walked a fine line
Between tolerance and ignorance
Glance my way, I'll look away
Pretending to pray.

Don't delay
The time is approaching
Crouching behind the bushes
Behind every tree.

I'll make it easy to forgive
Let me live; Find my heart 
Before you tear it apart.

Betrayed by the hands 
Of my one & only love
My one and only friend
I once called confidant.
