So this is who 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 Pierce 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 Gasping 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 holy temple Resore Your holy Name In the onslaught of Your love
And now, as gradual as the fall The dawn of hope The brilliant 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
