Lyrics for Flaming Torch

Now I know what you want But I don't know how to give it I think our life together has been cursed I don't know which one of us is worse Is it the one who lies or the one who hurts It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time You say I should be there You don't tell me where you're living It serves as ammunition for my verse I practice spiritual research Among the ancient ruins covered in dirt It's my work, it's my work I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong term True love is your guiding light It's like a flaming torch You can see magic in the night As the flames start to distort I can hear bells again I hope they never stop 'em ringing They remind me of the distant past Looking through a window's stained-glass When the pledge was made And the spell was cast It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time
