Scene Of The Affair

Like bloodtracks to a hound

Scent takes me back to where he took me down

And I spin them round

Images made without a sound

You, you and I were bound behind a lie

And now like shock before my eyes

With a heart that burns

I now return

Into the scene of the affair

Nothing remains

Of a life so depraved

As if we were never there

Lose your way

Did you forget the man you were

She's ok

She's strong enough go back to her

My collar up against this demon freeze

While I, I summon him with me

Did it with shame

I hunt the game

To the scene of the affair

I button my coat

And it feels so remote

It's as if you never cared

But I hardly recognize this place

And you, your life is all smoothed out

And what's left for me now?

Have I clouded your disgrace?

There's not a trace

Four walls and a bed

Best to let the dead rest with the dead

As I seal off fate

Without the slightest sense of dread

One kick of a can and a rush of gasoline

One strike to keep alive the dream

A silent scream

And no one sees me leave

The scene of the affair

It's where we lay

Laid bare a flame

With sacrificial flare

With a heart that burns

And now returns

To the scene of the affair

Nothing remains

Of a life so depraved

As if we were never there

And I spin them round

Images made without a sound

And I spin them round

And I spin them round

I spin them round and round and round
