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) (Fire-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) Baptized in fire (Fire-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) (Fire-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) Baptized in fire (Fire-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) Purification, consecration (Fire-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh) I'll never be the same (Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) Baptized in fire (Fire-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh) Fire, regeneration, (Fire-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh) consecration, baptized in fire
