The Years Of Decay

who tends the fire 
who keeps the torches lit 
who fills your eyes with smoke 
so you can't see 
I need the fire 
I need the torches lit 
to see through all the smoke covering me 


I have seen the fires burning 
burning through the night 
I have watched the tides a-turning 
and they go from dark to light 


what is this meaning 
what does this writing mean 
where do I go 
what do I do for now 
prophecies are foolish 
they never last 
they never speak the truth 
so why are they calling me now 


I have seen the fires burning 
burning through the night 
I have watched the tides a-turning 
and they go from dark to light 


I don't know cause I cannot see 
all i'm sure is I gotta be 
i'm not sure that i'm even me 
but I know that I gotta be 


you don't know that you're gonna die 
birth, life, death, is the reason why 
save those tears that you're gonna cry 
cause I know that you're gonna die 


yes I know but I cannot see 
and i'm sure that I gotta be 
all these voices are killin' me 
but they say that I got 
say that I got 
say that I gotta be me. 


who tends the fire 
who keeps the torches lit 
who fill your eyes with smoke 
so you can't see 
I need the fire 
I need the torches lit to see 


I have seen the fires burning 
burning through the night 
I have watched the tides a-turning 
still the fire burning bright
