Baptized In Fire

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)

(Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) Baptized in fire
(Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) 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)
