Burning at Both Ends - Cauldron

Lost in the battlefield

A soul that can not yield

Head first into the frey

With no plan for steps to take

Taken under the spell

Continue to compel

Too many moves to make

Never stop or you will break

Don’t know the road that leads

Accelerate with speed

Knowing no guarantee

Pleasure of the greatest tease

Fear of not keeping pace

Someone will take your place

Burn fast, fall behind

Never one with fleeting time

Burning both ends

Constant redeeming

No time to mend

Losing all feeling

Burning both ends

No longer dreaming

The future descends

Losing all meaning

Under the hill we go

Too fast, no time to slow

The signs of long ago

Ignore the pattern far below

Final appeal is lost

Reveal the final cost

Knowing no expertise

Never stop or you will cease

Your time was spent, there’s no repent

Ignoring the signs in the end

Lost in the battlefield

This soul that can not yield

Still down and out of place

Never know your own disgrace

Steady under the spell

Continue to compel

Too late to turn away

Forever lost and led astray
