Singed by the air
I inhale
I don't dare
To exhale
For fear to lose
This passion burning me
I just refuse
To set the flame free
Die internal
Sigh external
Yearn infernal
Burn eternal
Scalded by the tear
On cheek
Drifting as it sears
I'm too weak
To wipe it away
Too tired of pain
To let it stay
Yet I'm slain
Die internal
Sigh external
Yearn infernal
Burn eternal
I burn
I yearn
For love eternal
For love infernal
Scorched by your look
Void of desire
A passionate crook
Stole my Heart's fire
Turned it on me
In a backdraft
Brought my world to knee
Burnt it 'til nothing was left
Die internal
Sigh external
Yearn infernal
Burn eternal
I burn
I yearn
My world burns
The wind turns
I burn
I yearn
For love eternal
Get love infernal
