While Rome Burns

Every way I turn my head
I see the smoke of burning fires
All my friends have come and gone
While I just sit and pick my lyre
Tell me, tell me where we stand
Are we caught in a flaming pyre
Take me, take me by the hand
Are we lost in a loveless life

Oh heart, why do you beat for things that you'll never know
Oh words, why do you fail to come when I need you most

Every time I lift my head
I feel the sting of wasted hours
All my dreams are moving on
While I just sit, inhaling flowers
Tell me, tell me what you can
To alleviate desire
Take me, take me by the hand
Lead me out of a loveless life

Oh heart, why do you beat for things that you'll never know
Oh words, why do you fail to come when I need you most
