Baptized in fire

Baptized in fire, the end of this empire stripped me down to my bonesDetached from everything I’ve knownSometimes it feels like my life has been scorched from the earth
Life beyond conceivabilityThe trivial has burned away
The sacred is calling from the flamesIt burns the dross awayand I know I’ll never be the sameI’ll never be the same
Converging, submerging beneath the burning wavesPurification, consecrationRefining, purifying, I’ll never be the sameRegeneration, baptized in fire
In flames, in pain, the sacred & profane separated in the belly of the fireDetached from every raw desireSometimes it feels like my life has been made for rebirth
Baptized in fireShifting shimmer the depths call out to meGolden glimmer into the underneath
