Ministry - Burning Inside Lyrics






Will these dreams still follow me
Out of dark obscurity?
Can't you see it up in the sky
As it kicks you in the face and sucks you dry
You never had the answers
And now you tell me the facts of life
I really couldn't be bothered with you
Get out of my face and watch me die
Burning inside! Burning inside!

Absolution and a frozen room
Are the dreams of men below
I try to grab it but the touch is hot
The mirror collapses, but the image came not
I'm scared of the darkness in the light
I scare myself because I know I'm right
I see the evil in your savage eye
As it cuts right through the sky
Burning inside! Burning inside!

Calling a mantra with a blade in the skin
For the demons within
I feel the pain is the death and decay
But the lesson never fades away
Too little shadows, turn away
You throw the man through the window pane
Another slave and a victim of fate
Another lesson in hate
Burning inside! Burning inside!

    Interstates with like 70 plus speed limits and horrific ceashes seen very very quickly and kinda like a NTSB or some tape amd a wheel and a BEAUTIFUL MIND..

  29. j.... s....

    I still remember purchasing this album by mistake when I was 11 years old (on cassette tape!). I was really into metal having devoured everything by Metallica and Slayer they released until that point. I walked into the record store and I was looking for a band that I couldn't quite recall the name of. To this day I can't remember who they were but they were some generic thrash band I saw on Headbanger's Ball and they had a name that was related to religion. I thought Minsitry was that band and boy was I wrong. I popped the tape into mom's cassette player on the ride home with my buddy in the back seat. Thieves came on and I remember both of us saying "What is this????" I'd never really heard anything like it (this was well before NIN became mainstream). I must admit I was pretty dissapointed with it because it wasn't what I had came for, but after getting it home and giving it a couple of listens I changed my mind. This was cutting edge stuff and much more interesting than that forgotten thrash band I wanted. One of the best mistakes of my life.

    j.... s....
