Intro: cde /F C / G / G / G /
Dm F C F C
You know the secrets that live in fire
G Dm F C F C
What is the promise that flames inspire?
F C G
Can it just burn it out?
Dm F C F C
Shadows are memories that won’t stay put?
G Dm F C F C
Can you redact them with ash and soot?
F C G
Can it just burn it out?
F C G Dm
Can you just burn it out so thoroughly?
Am C G
You'll never see a trace of yourself in the spark
F C G F G
Can you just burn it out till it’s dark
Dm F C F C G
Ghostly intruders who storm the moat
Dm F C F C
Black-booted looters lay knife to friend (throat?)
F C G
Can you just burn that out?
Dm F C F C G
All of the shame that was yours to bear
Dm F C F C
Will it ignite like a signal flare?

Can you just burn it out?
F C G Dm
Can you just burn it out so thoroughly?
Am C G
You’ll never see a person who once had a name
F C G F
Can you just burn it out with a little flame
G F Am
Spirits and spectres that live in the sulphur streams
C F G
Find their redemption in charcoal dreams
F C G Dm
Can you just burn it out so thoroughly?
Am C G
You’ll never see a trace of yourself in the coal
F C G F C
Can it just burn it out of your soul?
