(Hymn of) Fire Lyrics


Cracks have formed in the rationale

Common sense over ancient texts

A moral code is human

Not born from the spiritual world

Life and death unavoidable

As sure as Earth circles the Sun

Learn before you play the judge

Sentenced heretic, condemned

To fire

Monuments to atrocity, found in all religions

Stay preserved or swept away by fire

(swept away) by fire

Terrified of the emptiness

Face the fact we might be alone

For all sins you compromise

When no other logic will hold

The more we know the less to luck

See the wall of reason is strong

There can be peace in a mortal coil

Long before the answer is told

Frost forms, patterns

New birth from nothing

Shows that there is hope still to be found

Those who would dare to ask

“There must be something more?”

Look around to see all secrets revealed

No longer possible for just one man

To possess all knowledge

Even in a thousand lifetimes

To burn words

Is to snuff thought

To burn “The Word”

Is to find freedom

An afternoon in a garden, like any other

Alone with a cult of one, the Empire of self

How many shades of light cloak this day?

Never a second chance to live this moment.
