Lyrics
Driftin' upward, gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over, turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end
Fire is bright, fire is clean
Never so alive
Smoke is freedom, flame is mercy
I am free tonight
And I burn
I burn
Stoke the embers, cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark
Feel the lick of bad religion
The finish and the start
In the beginning, we were smarter
And flame was heaven-sent
Through the ages, we got stupid
Now we must repent
And I burn
I burn
Sift the ashes for reminders
Stony things remain
Tooth and bone, unimpressive
I have left these things
Because fire is bright, fire is clean
Efficient and divine
Tooth and bone, charms and dolls
I am free tonight
I'm on the air
You breathe
I'm on the air
You breathe
I'm on the air
You breathe
And I burn
I burn
I burn
I burn
