The Killigans - Through the Flames Lyrics
A memory it fades as the time flickers pastA lifetime of pain and death outlastingAs the blossoms they fall on a stiff northern windMy eyes trace the path to take refuge withinAnd life leaves me in darknessA sin left me here in utter shameAs my memory holds thoughts of former gladnessFor you to judge my battered soul remainsLook away, look awayTis’ the day when your fathers be calling your nameLook away, look awayLift your eyes to the cross as we walk through the flamesKiss your kids and your wife, turn your back to the lightCuz’ we’ll burn all that’s left so my boys look awayWe traced the green fields as our hearts raced alongWarm winds filled our breath the trees were singingAn innocence spent under blue skies carefreeA life looking back blessed with fortune were weAnd life leaves me in darknessA sin left me here in utter shameAs my memory holds thoughts of former gladnessFor you to judge my battered soul remains
