Taken by Flames Lyrics

Ready to face the odds I'm in better company Failure to break the curse I was told, "You're never going to be someone, ha" Look at me now Outside, the cold screams, "Make your fires!" And I was told "Time to carry the load" While in a state of shock Crashed and burned, preachers, leeches at every turn Save the flock Save them from their lives When did you learn? How old were you when you found Found the truth was a ruse? And the ruse was a goddamn lie? It keeps me up in arms Where is your soul? It might be inside of the prophet's cloak Crying, burning up And now the writ has come Mobs on the street who want blood Taken by flames, rattling their cages Forsaken No family or friends Just a game of luck Lost your turn, where's your horseshoe? Mobs on the street Playing for keeps Making them pay, pleased to meet you, you're done 'Cause the truth was a ruse And the ruse was a goddamn lie It keeps me up in arms Where is your soul? It might be inside of the prophet's cloak Crying, burning up And now your kids are stoned Poisoning each of their souls Laugh in your face, and kill you for your wages And now the writ has come Mobs on the street who want blood Taken by flames, rattling their cages And now your kids are stoned Poisoning each of their souls Laugh in your face, and kill you for your wages And now the writ has come Mobs on the street who want blood Taken by flames, rattling their cages
