Fire and Stardust

Fuel for what fire?

Had I crumpled under sanctimonious desire?

I find in my heart growing regret 

For the flames I should’ve set 

Bitter and rotten I’ve grown 

Helpless, I should’ve known 

Fan the lick of the heat 

Taste the oil so sweet

Feed the sacrificial lamb 

Bathe in the dirty water we swam 

Paint me red with the fuel of rebellion 

Crucify my love for a hellion 

In your arms, I thought we were a prayer 

Hope for a future lain bare 

If we go down now crumbling into ashes and dust  

Save me the last song for when love fades from lust  

Give us burial rites for when we depart 

Take from me not the love in my heart 

Forgive me and free me

For I have let feelings deceive me 

If I let go of this life we’ve built together 

I’ll see you in the stardust and aether
