Baptized by Fire Lyrics

Album: The Edge

What have the prophets done, to gain the path we see

The grayness that I see above it always follows me

And the fruits of this life, they take on many forms

As the fire in hell's cauldron, the image it always burns

And in the books, see the pages, read between the lines

It's been shadowed with disillusionment, just take back what you find

Let's hide away to the distant hills never question why

When we were conceived to this we were baptized by fire

No, it's a lie and it's not mine

It's a tragedy a mystery, that we must find

It's a call, to war, it's a shameless whore

It's a fantasy a mystery, it's all you wanted here

And I know that, I can be sure of, a quiet walk with you

Scenes of distance, sounds of calling, my hideaway is you

Dreams are slower, the day is longer, and I can face it too

Take me hold me, no one can hurt me, all because of you

Sold it's a fake, it's a give and take

It's a mystery, infinity, it's a world too late

It's a kind, of fear, and it's all right here

Don't know the way I feel today

Though it feels I'm way ahead this time

It seems far too good to be true

I know' I know

And I know that, there is a savior, when the day is through

A passive knowing, faithful wanting, a world I know as you

And fate is a walk I fear to take it's true' I know

I sometimes feel I'll never make it through

I know' I know

Like a child, born to survive all, basking time with you

Spending hours, on ivory towers, could this all be true

Hate, it's a fire, it's a bold faced lie

It's a fallacy, insanity, the disease inside

It's a walk, through tears, for all those years

It's misery your history and it's all right here

The end, it's a race, in the life you faced

It's a parody, hypocrisy, it's your one last taste

And death, for real, yeah it makes no deals

It's a tragedy, reality, no one wants to hear

I know that, I can be sure of, quiet nights with you

A face of knowing, and understanding, one I know as you

In the distance, I see existence, I know you see it too

You're all I dream of, you're all I think of, I know I just love you

No, it's gone, life's not that long

It's senility, a rhapsody, it's all that's wrong

And here, you stand, all alone again

It's misery, insanity, you can't defend

Now you're dead, it's a kick in the head

It's a tragedy, a mystery, that's what you said

But if you can take the bounty, I will grab the soul

Then we'll run away together
