Lyrics
Burning Embers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fly through the glass of a window pane
Fall through the sky feeling the rain
Walk on broken glass your tell-tale heart
Look through the bars of a dirty jail cell
Soar to heaven dive to hell
Listen to your tell-tale heart
Setting fires in the ghost twilight
We see you dress we bolt with fright
You see an apparition disappear
Jump to the table, jump up the stairs
Stand on the rooftop, looking out through the air
Walk on broken glass your tell-tale heart
Lenore, am I dreaming
How can death keep us apart, mmmm..
Lenore, I see you burning
And I'd walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Heart
Heart
Heart
Heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Your tell-tale heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers
Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart
