Burn me Back

Paroles de « Burn me Back »

Intro – whispered, layered

White wings burn
Truth turns
Black feathers learn

Verse 1

Used to be pure, used to shine bright
Raven in the sun, a servant of light
Messenger of gods, eyes sharp as blades
But truth cuts deeper than the lies it slays

Pre-Chorus

He saw her lips on mortal skin
He held the truth like fire within
Could’ve blinded, could’ve burned
But he flew back —
And the sun god turned

Chorus

Burn me black, burn me slow
Tell the truth, reap what you sow
Feathers fall like ash and pain
Say my name —
I’ll never be the same

Burn me black! (burn me black)
Truth don’t crack! (truth don’t crack)
Wings of white now fade to lack —
Poor raven, never comin’ back

Verse 2

He broke the code, broke the vow
Told the god what he saw, and how
But the sun don’t love no snitch, no dove
Just wrath from above, not even love

Pre-Chorus

Could’ve stayed silent, kept it in
But silence kills, and he had no skin
For lies or games or divine sin —
So he spoke, and fate began to spin

Chorus

Burn me black, burn me slow
Tell the truth, reap what you sow
Feathers fall like ash and pain
Say my name —
I’ll never be the same

Burn me black! (burn me black)
No way back! (no way back)
Truth is cursed and that’s a fact —
Poor raven, poor raven... fade to black

Bridge – with violins & distorted vocals

I told the truth, now I wear the lie
Stained by a god who can't cry
You think you’re holy? You think you're right?
Then why'd you curse the one who brought you light?

[Final Chorus – soft, echoed, resigned]
Burned in feathers, scarred in flight
The price of truth is endless night
Once I flew in the sun’s own track —
Now I vanish in skies of black…

Burn me black.
Burn me black.
Poor raven, never comin’ back.
