[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

How you fell

You were in comforted sleep

Dead and entombed in the deep

Mistakenly called to rise from hell

Led just to find it again

I'll be your requited end

Shed like the severing skin and flesh

Step forth a martyring pyre

A blight corrected by fire

When there is no way to pass the test

You had the judgement and lost

Now I'm collecting the cost

So you may rest

[Chorus]

In my hands, your bones reborn in cleansing flame are purified

When the cinders crack, they cross the great divide

When you tread into the shadow of a past untold, unlearned

Do you feel it piercing in your blood as it burns?

[Verse 2]

Who could judge?

There's none more faithful than I

Shielded from mimicry's lies

Against the heart that I hold no grudge

Writhing the firstborn of flame

The progeny hid in shame

Shadowed and left by a mother's love

Infallible and so pure

Cursed by the rats beneath her

Held by a fate you've no inkling of

The beast must consume the prey

No hope of getting away

No shield's enough

[Chorus]

In my hands, your bones reborn in cleansing flame are purified

When the cinders crack, they cross the great divide

When you tread into the shadow of a past untold, unlearned

Do you feel it piercing in your blood as it burns?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Eye for an eye, lie for a lie

You can't convince me

To render aside my poisoned bite

Cease your deception that

One such as you could stand out the few

To rewrite the story she's

Written in truth, somber and soothed

No room for changes in

Such vile affairs, crude and unfair

Thrown by divinity

Into exile, traveling miles

Only to fall to my

True sacrifice

Bereft of light

Preyed and enticed

Now you'll be the fuel for cleansing flame

[Chorus]

In my hands, your bones reborn in cleansing flame are purified

When the cinders crack, they cross the great divide

When you tread into the shadow of a past untold, unlearned

Do you feel it piercing in your blood as it burns?

[Outro]

Cleansing flame
