Lyrics
SLOW BURN
By Randy Rusk
Slow burn, feel the fire of the
Slow burn, fan the flames of the
Slow burn of desire; will we tire of the pain?
Coming of age in a world where sin is the rage.
Taking the stage at a time when lies fill the page.
The children will not know their parents mirror those,
Who came before them.
The Sowers can not reap if the teachers are asleep,
And do not show them.
If you don't know what you don't know,
You won't know what you're missing.
If you can't see your reality,
How will you know what you're risking?
Turning around at the dead-end lost and found.
Shadows for crowns, the kings come crashing down.
The parents do not know that their children can not grow,
If they do not feed them.
The sacred and humane becomes the acid rain,
Of hate and treason.
If you don't know what you don't know,
You won't know what you're loosing.
If you can't see your reality,
How will you know what you're choosing?
Time will tell if heaven or hell awaits us.
Frame by frame we pass the blame, who will wake us.
If you don't know what you don't know,
You won't know what you're missing.
If you can't see your reality,
How will you know what you're risking?
If you don't know what you don't know,
You won't know what you're loosing.
If you can't see your reality,
