Lyrics James LaBrie

James LaBrie

Destined To Burn

You've been taken

From all that

You've ever known

There's no question

You're already on your own

What's going on here

What have we done

Someting's wrong

This can't be right

Coffles and strangers

Pushing further

Beaten well into the night

We cannot alter or change

Gainst our will held in chains

Difference in colour of skin

Is my sin

What gives them the right to

Take away

All I could've loved til my

Dying day?

Is this bridge really destined to burn?

Pale skinned serpent

There's no conscience eating you

My sole purpose

What God has done onto you

What if the tables were reversed

With all your rights taken away

Suddenly perverse

It's a nightmare

No one's waking you today

We cannot alter or change

Gainst our will held in chains

Difference in colour of skin

Is my sin

What gives them the right to

Take away

All I could've loved til my

Dying day?

Is this bridge really destined to burn?

Shrouded in fear

Morales reversed now

Battered til the core to one's soul

Lighter a shade

You steal then you break

Even one's own faith
