Here I am, burning man
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
All my dreams are heaven known
I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten
Rise up burning man
Seize the wild take command
Days of thunder see me shine
All my dreams turn out fine
I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land
I know the fear of dying
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy
It soon will pass
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten
Where love is defeated
I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land
I know the fear of dying
Heard from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy
It soon will pass
We need love you gotta want it so bad
We need it now so run to it fast
I know it
And the world will be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love's defeated
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love's defeated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Where love is defeated
Can't go on in a world where love's defeated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The last note of freedom
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
All my dreams are heaven known
I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten
Rise up burning man
Seize the wild take command
Days of thunder see me shine
All my dreams turn out fine
I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land
I know the fear of dying
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy
It soon will pass
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten
Where love is defeated
I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
