Lyrics

(Gregorian Chant)

Behold the eternal flame that burns and scars,
all in the name of soul wrenching love.
Still chasing dreams beneath the fading stars.
cruel jesting from the gods high above.

Cast out from paradise to crawl like a snake,
Inching my way across burning sands.
Thirsting and aching heart exposed to take,
Clawing at the earth with scarred hands.

Burn me alive , i crave this flame!
Flesh to embers, love to blame!
Screaming lust in hell’s domain,
Your touch , my holy searing pain!

Volumes unspoken fall upon stone deaf ears,
muted voices let out silent screams.
Empty words pouring from pitiless fears,
useless tears fall in endless streams.

Burn me alive , i crave this flame!
Flesh to embers, love to blame!
Screaming lust in hell’s domain,
Your touch , my holy searing pain!

No oasis in this cold merciless land so bare,
from which to drink the water of life.
No hope, no faith, no charity, no one to care,
fading slowly into never ending strife.

But for a touch, a gesture, anything from you,
I should be reborn with hope once again.
You turn your back on me, like you always do,
and leave me to rot with doubt and pain.

Burn me alive , i crave this flame!
Flesh to embers, love to blame!
Screaming lust in hell’s domain,
Your touch , my holy searing pain!

Salve, O Regina Caeli…
Salve! Porta…
