lyrics

The fearful dogs are prowling
Round and round my gate
I've fought against my memories
I'm scarred by love and hate

I've run away from a world I can't face
I fall down beside you
Praying for grace

The fire of the burning altar
Has torn my thoughts apart
Broken wings, bones, old things
Lie gathered round my heart

A rose without thorns you may find
But you won't find a love more true than mine

I am just poor soul
Wandering in sin
I know the crooked melodies
Of candles falling dim

I ache with your promise
The quiet in your eyes
To see this slow unfolding
Is the reason I'm alive

Fire, fire
Fire, fire

The fire of the burning altar
Has torn my thoughts apart
Broken wings, bones, old things
Lie gathered round my heart

A rose without thorns you may find
But you won't find a love more true than mine

Fire, fire
Fire, fire
