Renaissance - Black Flame

- Lyrics: [Instrumental Intro 00:00 - 01:48] [Vocal Harmonies] [Verse 1] I am words, I am speaking I never heard my conclusion Lost the way in my confusion, in illusion Lost inside the picture frame [Chorus] I'm not to blame, I didn't see the black flame I'm not ashamed, it's poetry, the black flame I'm rearranged, it's changing me, the black flame Burns my blackened brain [Verse 2] I am strong, I am leaving I never knew I'd feel the need so Where to go? I'll turn the flow, I could not know Screams inside the burning pain [Chorus] It's spinning head, it's underhand, the black flame It lies instead, I turned and I ran, the black flame On me, it fed, I understand, the black flame Burns my blackened brain [Bridge] Run from me, don't you see That we are one and I'm a part of you? Get away, any way I'm still a secret in the heart of you And I'm the burning in your soul [Instrumental Break 04:34 - 05:12] [Verse 3] Now I am weak, I am losing I never thought I'd stop trying I'm a lie, I'm just a sigh, just a crying Just a symbol of the game You might also like Cold Is Being Renaissance Things I Don’t Understand Renaissance Northern Lights Renaissance [Chorus] Suspended pain, I cannot face the black flame Intended fear, I cannot trace the black flame Extended, reaching into space, the black flame Burns my blackened brain Line-up / Musicians: - Annie Haslam / lead & backing vocals - Michael Dunford / acoustic guitar, backing vocals - John Tout / keyboards - Jon Camp / bass, backing vocals - Terence Sullivan / drums, percussion, backing vocals With: - Jimmy Horowitz / orchestral arrangements Releases information: Artwork: Joe Petagno with Hipgnosis (design & photo) LP Sire Records - SAS 7502 (1974, US) LP BTM Records - BTM1000 (1974, UK) Information obtained from ProgArchives and Genius.
