Fire! fire! burn me up
Consume my insides
Renew me from my decay
It's getting cold in here
Ignite my passions from deep within
Lick the calm waters of my soul
With my heart on fire
Hide me among the pyre
And let my temperature rise
Till I am flesh no more
Away with the rot
Painful it is
But it must be done
Am like a gold yet to be purified
A diamond yet to withstand the pressure
This is my crucible
And from my ashes
I will arise and soar higher than eagles
With a new flesh and bones
My feathers are bright
My wings are stronger
I die only to be born again.
