Burn lyrics

I burnt a part of me today Some old dusty pictures And memories long buried Of lovers and friends I raise a toast to absent friends And dead forgotten gods Past deeds, and things to come Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I have burnt with my past today Slowly at first, then fiercely A fire of old memories And long forgotten feelings And when people and places And the taste in my mouth Turned to ashes, so did I Without feeling any more Free or forgiven I raise a toast to absent friends And dead forgotten gods Past deeds, and things to come Ashes to ashes, dust to dust And I'm still burning now A fire much older than me And as the old pains come back They burn the rust inside me
