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 throug 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 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 behing And take to flight
