Baptized by Fire

Baptized by Fire I am the black oil that runs through the veins of this earth I am the birth and the death and the sex and the sin And the thing that comes after And I am the reason that you came I am the drugs I am the pain Baptized by fire What the fuck you gonna do about it? I am the reason for the children you have And the reason for the scars on your face And the time that you spent in the hospital I am the war I am the hate And the reason you came And the reason you stayed Baptized by fire What the fuck you gonna do about it? In the ashes, you'll find the truth untold Through the smoke, stories yet to unfold A phoenix rising from the depths of despair I am the whisper of a prayer I am the night that steals your sleep And the shadow that dances where secrets keep I am the silence in the deepest fear The echo of memories that never disappear Baptized by fire What the fuck you gonna do about it? Through the flames, I walk alone, charred and true Pain is my only friend, loyal and cruel Scarred by the fire, baptized anew In darkness, I find the light I've pursued Baptized by fire, born from the ashes Rising again, when the darkness collapses In this inferno, my spirit ignites A burning desire, night after night In the chaos, I grasp the thorn Through the pain, I am reborn Shattered dreams, scattered like glass From the wreckage, I rise at last Lost in shadows, yet standing tall Beneath the flames, I hear the call A whisper of hope in the charred remains The echoes of love and bitter pain Baptized by fire, born from the ashes Rising again, when the darkness collapses In this inferno, my spirit ignites A burning desire, night after night In the end, when shadows swallow the light I am the abyss, eternal night A heart once whole, now forever torn Embracing the dark, where I was reborn
