Child Of Burning Time Lyrics - Slipknot

The child of burning time 

The child of burning time 

... 

My only consolation is a lie 

(Is a lie) 

The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight 

(Is dying here tonight) 

Winter hasn't ended and it always looks like rain 

(It always looks like rain) 

I can't remember anything 

(Anything) 

Inside the absolution, we succumb 

(Inside the absolution, we succumb) 

And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb 

(I think I'm going numb)

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

A chance to give up avarice has marked my one regret 

(Has marked my one regret) 

The child of burning time is gone 

And he hasn't come back 

He hasn't come back yet... 

... 

Before I tell my story, please consider who I am 

(Consider who I am) 

I missed my window years ago 

I'm doing all I can 

(I'm doing all I can) 

A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end they go away 

(In the end they go away) 

My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in... 

I'm left to wear in shame 

I cut my name 

(I cut my name) 

Into my heart 

Photos 

(Into my heart) 

I'll tear it all apart 

I beg you 

Burn me away 

(Burn me away) 

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved 

Burn me away 

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today 

... 

I burn away 

I burn away 

... 

I burn away 

... 

I burn away 

... 

I burn away 

My isolation is my course 

(My isolation is my course) 

The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source 

(A cancer on its source) 

I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame 

(The fetish and the flame) 

Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage 

(Ever lose my rage) 

I cut my name 

(I cut my name) 

Into my soul 

(Into my soul) 

I guess I'll never know 

I beg you 

Burn me away 

(Burn me away) 

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved 

(Fight the life I saved) 

Burn me away 

(Burn me away) 

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today 

(Lose it all today) 

Burn me away 

(Burn me away) 

(Burn me away) 

I won't become your hero just to fight the life I saved 

(Fight the life I saved) 

Burn me away 

(Burn me away) 

(Burn me away) 

I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all 

lose it all today
