Burn, Heretic!

If you pass me by
Life would simply disappear
I'm your archetype
I could save your life

If you meet me after dark
Bring your eyes to mine
I thought I had the answer
I didn't know it'd rub them the wrong way

But they're yelling burn, heretic
I can see the truth
I can help you for a price
There's no need to doubt

If I let you down
Know it takes a little time
Just don't pass me by
I thought they'd be more sensible

I thought I'd show off a new trick
But they're yelling burn, heretic
Now the time runs out
I could see the look of rage

Stretch across the crowd
If you set the light
I would have to say goodbye
You're my last regret

I feel the fires reaching me
I couldn't help but beg for forgiveness
But they're yelling burn, heretic
