Sevendust "Burn" lyrics

(rescue me)
from this mistake I'm in
Who knows the path I'll land on
(I must be dreamin)
in the end nothing but solitary moments
(comin down on me)

Wash away the colors of the shame
that you gave to me
So I can see again,
so I can live again
Wash away the colors of the shame
that you gave to me
So I can see again,
so I can live again
(wash it away, release me)

(never free)
I don't know what I want but I know
(I don't want this)
a sleep of content
I'm here again and always
(intent on believ'n)

Wash away the colors of the shame
that you gave to me
So I can see again,
so I can live again
I pray the day will come
when you will see
What you took from me,
From where it all began,
the way I used to be

(wash it away, release me)
(i can't take this anymore )

I lied to myself,
remembering the things said
Things you said to me
no answer for help
Empty promises were all I heard
never meant to be
Destroy me, control me, don't hold me, release me from your hands
Give me back the life you took and...

Chorus (x2)
Wash away the colors of the shame
that you gave to me
So I can see again
so I can live again
I pray the day will come
when you will see
What you took from me
From where it all began
the way I used to be

I often wonder how it
came to this again
I often wonder why it had to end
I often wonder how it
came to this again
I often wonder why it had to end
(Forgive you just the same)
I often wonder how it
came to this again
(Never meant to be)
I often wonder why it had to end
(Forgive you all the same)
I often wonder how it
came to this again
(Never meant to be)
I often wonder why it had to end
Because of what you took from me

I stumbled across this video for the first time a few months the same day I found out someone I knew had killed himself. I was so full of emotion that day, I just replayed this over and over again until it all drained out of me. I'd just like to say thank you for that, because it was the release I had needed.

[hitmanyr2kHQ]

@Lightshade393 I can feel identify with that. I was going through a very rough time a few years ago and made this video to deal with it. I had family members that were very ill. My fiancee at the time (now my wife) wasn't sure we would ever get married since so many obstacles kept coming up. I had two friends die in Iraq and another friend that didn't die but will never be the same physically or mentally. I poured all of that emotion into this video and just used the movie as a surrogate.

Good video editing. In fact a great job there.

But one thing which has to be said. Lord of The Rings and Rock music? Honestly do yout hink it goes together?

[hitmanyr2kHQ]

I think most people associate Lord of the Rings with only soft music but I think it's possible to make a hard rock song work with the LOTR movies if you're able to match the lyrical content of the song with the themes and images of the film.

Honestly I made this video mostly for myself and used the characters as surrogates for what I was going through at the time. I didn't think it would be well received by LOTR fans for the reason I mentioned above and was surprised by the positive responses

[crimsonguitar848]

What program did you use to make this??? I MUST KNOW.

[hitmanyr2kHQ]

I use Ulead Mediastudios 7.0 Pro. It's lesser known when compared to editing apps like Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas but it's been my program of choice for the last 4-5 yeas. I have a great comfort zone with it.

[iliveinaTolkienWorld]

Best music video ever made.

[Eraisuithiel]

Visually stunning, utterly dinamic. Although it runs for a little more than 8 min it kept me glued to the screen.

Congtas!!!!!

[DaytimeDreamer80]

Even though I've seen this video ages now and I've also downloaded all your videos off your website, I always come back to see this one more time and I get stuck watching it at least 5-6 times. Truly awesome job on all of your videos

[yucatanamax]

That's the best summary of "The Lord of the Rings" I've seen so far! Way to go, AJ !

[SSJ4KINGSHADOW]

I'm a huge fan of both LOTR and Sevendust, when I first found this vid I wasn't really shocked, but it deffinatly left an impact on me, this song actually goes well with the LOTR story...if you think about it. Anyway great job, everytime I get on youtube I always watch this vid.

[Nighthawk1108]

Sick!

[rikuxamv]

burn is in fact a very unique way of choice, id never expected this would work out so well!

[vegatablesouptom]

@hitmanyr2kHQ I speak for LOTR fans when i say this is well received, fantastic work man :)

[killsaus]

I do really like your editing :) Nice work mate ;)

[Gonz395]
