lyrics

I've built a lot of bridges and burned many too
I was a man on fire, I’m sorry I hurt you
I'm not making excuses, pretending it's OK
I'm waking to my senses, trying to find a way

Don Quixote's windmill stands very much intact
All the jousting wayward servants could not change the fact
So let me find the handle on the sword within myself
To aid my children's future and bring me back to health

Man on fire, such a bitter end
I never meant to burn you, my friend

Held here in the moment, captive to the times
Goodness is held hostage by a million untold crimes
I know this incantation sounds cryptic and obscure
But trust me when I tell you, in us lies the cure

Man on fire, such a bitter end
I never meant to burn you, my friend

So never give up hoping, there's power in your heart
Peace inside the conflict gives confidence to start
And try not forget the good things that keep us safe and sane
Shackles soon will disappear, to the prize we rise again

Man on fire, such a bitter end
I never meant to burn you, my friend [Repeat]
