I incinerate within, thrown into an unforgiving crucible,
I incinerate within, burn scorching underneath the skin,
Strike the match, pull it back till my lungs turn black,
Relinquished hope surrendered to depravity,
In anguish I fall, my dreams disintegrate beneath me,
I'm so close to giving in with no promise of tomorrow,
Is there redemption for my sins?
This is a trial by fire,
I incinerate within, burn scorching underneath the skin,
Thrown into an unforgiving crucible,
Burn, strike the match, pull it back till my lungs turn black,
Have I lost my identity? 'Cause Lord it feels like you don't see me,
Trapped in this season of uncertainty,
I refuse to curse my God in blasphemy,
I will overcome the tragedy,
I will not succumb, no evil will define my name,
And when you strip back the flesh and pour gold in place of my bones,
Revive this broken soul, For I am a newborn creation,
I'm embracing the flames, consume me,
Whole, born through the ashes of a broken soul
