I sit at the side of a flare
As lonely as a soul can be
So close to flame that it hurts
Tongue of flame
That hurts inside

Chorus:
Tongue of flame
Can't sleep at night
Tongue of flame
Can't lie to myself
Tongue of flame
I'm weakening in grief
Tongue of flame
Painful tongue of flame

I cry my tears away
I scream out the pain
I look inside the fire
I lose myself in flames

[Chorus]

Grief alternates
With wrath again
Lunacy fills the emptiness
I become one with flames
And never look back
