    Story Behind the Song
    recorded live at a friend's apartment.

    my dear, if you're going to make the sacrifice, willing or unwilling, better a blistering flame than smoking embers. BURN.

    Lyrics
    don't look too close, you're gonna see
    my spiritual ruin and bankruptcy
    it's there in my eyes, here in my thoughts
    the pauper, the pagan searching for gods

    the altar's so high
    so i
    could crawl into the airless shadow
    when your back's turned
    slip up the side
    don't cry
    when rough stone scrapes the soft skin
    it's the lesson
    i can't seem to learn
    burn darling, burn

    if you ask me i'd be tempted to lie
    sing you to sleep with a sweet lullaby
    and i'll say whatever you want to hear
    the siren, seductress soon to disappear

    the altar's so high
    so i
    could crawl into the airless shadow
    when your back's turned
    slip up the side
    don't cry
    when rough stone scrapes the soft skin
    it's the lesson
    i can't seem to learn
    burn darling, burn


    i've got a candle for you to light with your flaming fingers
    i've got a dead soul you could ignite with your heated hands
    send up the ashes, send up the incense but don't forget
    the funeral prayer
    burn darling, burn
