|
So this is what I become |
|
When You leave me to myself |
|
A burned up, hollow, angry, empty shell |
|
An actor on a barren stage |
|
An even-keel with unchanneled rage |
|
Sinking deeper into hell |
|
Bind me to You |
|
Piece me straight through |
|
Consume me with Your fire |
|
Ravage my heart |
|
Tear me clean apart |
|
And still be my desire |
|
As I descend it starts again |
|
Sliding down, spiraling |
|
Grasping on the breath of corruption |
|
Fighting undertow |
|
Holding on, realizing |
|
My own hopeless helplessness finally letting go |
|
All is madness |
|
As the flames engulf me |
|
Oblivion, refining fire |
|
Making ashes of this life |
|
Burn, fire, burn |
|
Clean this sorry temple |
|
Restore Your holy name |
|
In the onslaught of Your love |
|
And now, as gradual as the fall |
|
The dawn of hope, the brillian sun |
|
Sending all the shadows fleeing |
|
Sweet daylight |
|
A new man rising from the ashes |
|
Clothed in white, bearing a new name |
|
I leave it all behind |
|
And take to flight |
