[Verse 1] Rio burned beneath a titan war The earth broke open, swallowed more Steel and concrete gave way below Into a world where the dead things grow Broken body, fading breath Buried underneath the gods of death Then something ancient felt my flame A little heart that knew no name [Pre-Chorus] It entered my blood It tore through my bones I screamed as it remade me And I was not alone [Chorus] I AM THE FIRE IN THE DARK I AM THE FLAME THAT LEAVES A MARK You thought the burning meant the end But fire makes the broken bend I AM THE THING YOU NEVER KNEW A life reborn in something new I crawled into the earth below Now watch what comes out of the glow [Verse 2] My human blood became something strange Every heartbeat forced to change Flesh rewritten, instinct awake Every piece of me beginning to break I felt the ocean calling my name Felt something ancient inside the flame The pain was a price I had to pay For the woman I was to burn away [Pre-Chorus] I entered that dark With nothing to lose The fire found me And gave me a choice [Chorus] I AM THE FIRE IN THE DARK I AM THE FLAME THAT LEAVES A MARK You thought the burning meant the end But fire makes the broken bend I AM THE THING YOU NEVER KNEW A life reborn in something new I crawled into the earth below Now watch what comes out of the glow [Bridge] Fire doesn't only destroy Fire clears the way It cauterizes every wound And burns the old away So let the old world fall Let every scar remain I am not what they made of me I am what survived the flame [Final Chorus] I AM THE FIRE IN THE DARK I AM THE FLAME THAT LEAVES A MARK The world above may fear my name But I was born inside the flame I AM THE THING YOU NEVER KNEW A Titan born from something new From broken bones and dying breath I chose the fire I chose what's left [Outro] Fire destroys. Fire heals. Fire clears the path. And something new walks out.
