Lyrics The Flower Kings

The Flower Kings

Selfconsuming Fire

She's waiting for the early tide

She turned back where the road got wider

She's looking for a soft asylum

Thinking loneliness is such a bitch to juggle

Been searching in the book of dreams

Been dreaming of a desert flower

Been waiting for the perfect touch

To release her from the self-consuming fire

Been hiding in a solitude

Grim exile in the business towers

A life amongst the living deadnAfraid to see what's

Building up inside of her

Five frozen faces fade away

Like still life in twilight hour

As memories of years gone by

The years of glorious undivided power

A flower tamed at your expense

A friend that could have been your lover

Sing softly from a world unchained

To catch the dawning resurrection hour

Five frozen faces fade away

Like still life in twilight hour

As memories of years gone by

The years of glorious undivided power

A flower tamed at your expense

A friend that could have been your lover

Sing softly from a world unchained

To catch the dawning resurrection hour

She tapped into the lucid dreams

To try escape the wildest fire

The fires that consume her soul

The way out is getting stony, steep and narrow

She's following the spiral down

She's trapped inside the wicked powers

If only she could hurt her God?

He'd crush her soul in the 11th hour
