when i said i won't be burned what did i know?as my mouth produced the words i felt the glowand her fire so invisible it first began to showand i was blind but now i see that i'm much blinder than i used to bei said i won't be burned how could i tellthat my words were but a curse to cast that spellas my limbs began to bend i counted every leaf that felli was tall but now i know that i'm much smaller and i'll have to growi said i won't be burned and i was boldbut the tables have been turned and i've been toldby a voice as clear as crystals on the moon and twice as oldthat i'll never sleep again the way i used to sleep back when you heard me weepi wont' be burned in such a tonethat i reap the dying seeds that i have sownand the honey just goes bitter when i feed myself aloneand i was wise but what'd i thinki'd be a fool to ever think i won't be burnedwhen i said i won't be burned how i was wrongand i knew i had it coming all alongthere's a place i cannot reach but i believe i once belongedand i was high when i was there and i had angels in my hairuntil i said i won't be burned and now they're goneso i found the point that's farthest from the sunand the absence of all light can strike the fear in anyoneand i was strong but now i'm weak i'd be a fool to ever thinki won't be burned Aus Songtexte Mania
