Burn fire in my lungs
The gasoline I've sung
Is long overdue to all-consume
This flesh and tongue
Don't let me get away
Grant me no fire escape
Neverending all-condeming
Human fate
The heat of your breath
Can melt all of this death
Swallowing in endless seas
Of endless depth
Singing, calling
Out of the ashes falling
Around me all this dead
You're glowing red
That white-hot light
Can show me right
Once was burning turned to yearning
Purified
The cinders settle in the hearth
My heart is still so far
From ever changing, ever-changing shades of dark
But burn me down to the foundation
If burning is what it takes to stand apart
