Altars
Can you feel the silent cries
Of a soul in need
Underneath the city lights
Their altars in the street
Through the walls I hear the sound
Of a beggar's plea
Looking for salvation from
The altars in the street
And it's so sad
People driftin' away
On a concrete sea
It's too bad, faded lives
(chorus)
Burn, won't you burn in me
Eternal flame
Won't you light my name
Burn in me
If God is "Grace" then "Bless the child"
Who's left alone tonight
Set him free, free to fly
Cause it's so sad
People wastin' away
In such a subtle display
It's too bad, sacred lives
(repeat chorus x2)
Though you fight
Still you lose
Everything you once held on to
And I know, yeah I know
Sometimes you hurt
(repeat chorus)
Oh, burn, won't you burn in me
You're my eternal flame
Why don't you light my name
Burn, burn, burn
