Through The Flames

(v1)
Piles of ash gather at my feet
Each one beyond recognition
Each one is a piece of me
Small acts of contrition
I have nothing else to give
But it's not for me to say
It's all up to you baby
Are you looking my way?

(chorus)
Fire still burns within me
And you're the reason
You're to blame
Can't you see me crying?
Can't you see me dying?
Through the flames
 
(v2)
All my sorrys mean nothing to you
If you're not even listening
My scorched soul screams
Knowing what it's missing
I stand alone in this heat
Slowly melting from within
Waiting for any sign
A pardon for all my sins

(chorus)

(v3)
I'm searching for your mercy
Watching the smoke rise
Is there a little hope
Hidden somewhere in your eyes
The blaze is all consuming
How long must I wait
Tell me am I still worthy
Or is it just too late

(chorus)

Pretty song guys! The chords remind me of my favorite Dokken song.  And the lyrics are great. You guys all played awesome-ly!!! 

Thanks for letting me sing.

[Mr. Mom]

This sounds absolutely fantastic!!
I'd say you guys(and gal) have the making of an MCS super band.
Thanks for the nod Mick.

Everyone:

Great final product, Mick it was your music post and title that drove my words.  It was great to be involved and watch it become a final post.

Great work folks and sooo aprobo for these daze! (me sweating)

Love the music Mick! ...And "another" great Lyric Paul! I think that "book title strategy" is working for you! I'm heading to the library tomorrow!

Tricia, you are "wonder woman" around here. Great vox!

To the rest of the supporting cast. Very cool!
SnowDog! The lead was the real fire here! You flamed my ears!

[Tricia41]

Thanks for the kind words!
People are really liking this one on facebook.

Hi Johnny that title came from Mick's posting not a book title.  BTW Border's is gone now so the library is the place you need to go.

Thanks for all the kind words gang
I do not profess to have "written" this song, it was a true collaboration effort. Everyone that added a part to this project also added a new dimension to the whole - just the thing I love about MCS and all you great musicians. Suitably, the whole process was fun and really quite effortless, just as it should be.

I luvs yas 

Mick.

Hey Mick,

This is sounding super .

Thanks for letting me play a part in this collab. Every contribution is top notch, from Pauls lyric, your guitar parts, Snowy's fiery solo, Ians drums (specially the side stick work after the first chorus) and lastly, but not in the least, super singing by the superstar in the house Tricia!!

Mick, great mix/master job too.

Lets do another one then

Cheers
Andy

[Paulo]

Damn Guitar players, now they play keyboards too
