Altars

Can you feel the silent cries

Of a soul in need

Underneath the city lights

Their altars in the street

Through the walls I hear the sound

Of a beggar's plea

Looking for salvation from

The altars in the street

And it's so sad

People driftin' away

On a concrete sea

It's too bad, faded lives

Burn, won't you burn in me

Eternal flame

Won't you light my name

Burn in me

If God is "Grace" then "Bless the child"

Who's left alone tonight

Set him free, free to fly

Cause it's so sad

People wastin' away

In such a subtle display

It's too bad, sacred lives

Though you fight

Still you lose

Everything you once held on to

And I know, yeah I know

Sometimes you hurt

Oh, burn, won't you burn in me

You're my eternal flame

Why don't you light my name

Burn, burn, burn
