Baptized By Fire

What have the prophets done to gain the path we seek?

The grayness that I see above it always follows me

And the fruits of this life they take on many forms

As the fire in Hell's cauldron, the image it always burns



And the books

See the pages

Read between the lines

It's been shadowed with disillusionment

Just take back what you find



Let's hide away to the distant hills never question why

When we were conceived to this we were baptized by fire



No, it's a lie and it's not mine

It's a tragedy, a mystery

That we must find

It's a call to war,

It's a shameless whore

It's a fantasy, a mystery

It's all you wanted here



I know that I can be sure of a quiet walk with you

Scenes of distance and sounds of calming, my hideaway is you

Dreams are slower, the day is longer, and I can face it too

Take me hold me, no one can hurt me, all because of you



Sold, it's a fake

It's a give and take

It's a mystery, infinity

It's a world too late

It's a kind of fear

And it's all right here

Don't know the way I feel today



Though it feels I'm way ahead this time

Seems far too good to be true

I know...

I know



I know that there is a savior when the day is through

A passive knowing, a faithful wanting, a world I know as you



And fate is a walk I fear to take it's true

I know...

I sometimes feel I'll never make it through

I know...

I know



Like a child born to survive all, basking time with you

Spending hours on ivory towers, could this all be true?



Hate, it's a fire

It's a bold faced lie

It's a fallacy, insanity

The disease inside

It's a walk through tears

For all those years

It's misery, your history

And it's all right here



The end, it's a race

In the life you faced

It's a parody, hypocrisy

It's your one last taste

And death, for real

Yeah, it makes no deals

It's a tragedy, reality

No one wants to hear



I know that I can be sure of quiet nights with you

A face of knowing and understanding, one I know as you

In the distance I see existence, I know you see it too

You're all I dream of, you're all I think of, I know I just love you



No, it's gone

Life's not that long

It's senility, a rhapsody

It's all that's wrong

And here you stand

All alone again

It's misery, insanity

You can't defend



And now you're dead

It's a kick in the head

It's a tragedy, a mystery

Isn't that what you said?



But if you can take the bounty

I will grab the soul

Then we'll run away together

No one will ever know
