Fire Alive

[Verse 1]
Wake up screaming
Reaching out through despair
The images linger
Memories like nails
Violation, stink of faeces
Desecration of life
A burning sky
The day blackened by shame

[Chorus]
They cover the lies
Cover the mind's eye
I am become a fire alive
They sever the faith
Sever the soul sight
And raise a fire
A fire alive
A fire alive

[Verse 2]
Facing death
Without a sign of life
The empty gaze of a child
Branded by psychosis
Staring blindly
Into the mortal wounds
Doll parts, severed flesh
The dead and the dying

[Chorus]
They cover the lies
Cover the mind's eye
I am become a fire alive
They sever the faith
Sever the soul sight
And raise a fire
A fire alive
A fire alive

[Bridge 1]
Why, O' shaab al-saffah?
I will see you when I go
Into the fire
Into the roaring sun...

[Bridge 2]
So, say your prayers and your goodbyes
Prepare to face the Lord
For in this, the final act
God speaks his shame

[Chorus]
I raise a fire
A fire alive
Fire...
A fire alive
