Baptized In Fire

(album: Satellites - 2022)

Baptized in fire

The end of this empire stripped me down to my bones
Detached from everything I've known
Sometimes it feels like my life has been scorched from the earth

Life beyond conceivability
The trivial has burned away

The sacred is calling from the flames
It burns the dross away
And I know I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Converging
Submerging beneath the burning waves
Purification, consecration
Refining
Purifying, I'll never be the same
Regeneration, baptized in fire

In flames, in pain, the sacred and profane
Separated in the belly of the fire
Detached from every raw desire
Sometimes it feels like my life has been made for rebirth

Life beyond conceivability
The trivial has burned away

The sacred is calling from the flames
It burns the dross away
And I know I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Converging
Submerging beneath the burning waves
Purification, consecration
Refining
Purifying, I'll never be the same
Regeneration, baptized in fire

Baptized in fire
Baptized in fire
Baptized in
Baptized in fire

The sacred is calling from the flames
It burns the dross away
Beneath the burning waves
And I know I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Shifting shimmer
The depths call out to me
Golden glimmer
Into the underneath

Purification
My consecration
Regeneration
Baptized in fire

Converging
Submerging beneath the burning waves
Refining
Purifying, I'll never be the same

Converging
Submerging beneath the burning waves
Purification, consecration
Refining
Purifying, I'll never be the same
Regeneration, baptized in fire

Baptized in fire
Purification, consecration
I'll never be the same
Baptized in fire
Fire
Regeneration
Consecration
Baptized in fire
