Lyrics

Bonds are broken
Only when
There is no escape
Other than to live

Bonds are broken
Only when
There is no escape
Other than to keep breathing

Time is floating
Overhead
Stuck inside a circle again

Cast the circle
Light the fire
Set the incense
On the pyre, and—

[Chorus]
Burn me to ashes, I crave
Bring me up into— higher planes (x2)

See the footprints
On the pyre
Free me from this world
Of desire, and—

[Chorus]
Burn me to ashes, I crave
Bring me up into— higher planes (x2)

[Bridge]
When the earth becomes cinder and rain
Spill me out onto floodplains.
Give my arms to the Eagle and the Crane
Give my bones to the hurricane

—the hurricane.

[Outro]
Burn me to ashes, I crave
Bring me up into— higher planes (x3)
