Waiting for the axe to come falling
Bracing for the stones that we know so well
Blistered and bruised
While we suffer through you
All to allow you enough rope to hang yourselves
Burning
Burning so patiently
Get out while you can
This house is coming down
There will be nothing left
Burning
Burning so patiently
And you know how it is
All of this time and so little has changed
The powers that be
Have you no memory of how this always ends?
Burning
Burning so patiently
Get out while you can
This house is coming down
There will be nothing left
Burning
Burning so patiently
Turn the shiv inward
We understand
Guilty as hell
With my own sins to tell
Black sheep can still smell their own
Now the witches are smiling
As only they can
Free of the stake
It's you we'll embrace
When this is over
We'll see who's left standing
Burning
Burning so patiently
Get out while you can
This house is coming down
There will be nothing left
Burning
Burning so patiently
Get out while you can
This house is coming down
There will be nothing left
Burning
