Crucible

I incinerate within
Thrown into an unforgiving crucible
I incinerate within
(burn)
Scorching underneath the skin
Strike the match, pull it back till my lungs turn black
Relinquished hope, surrendered to depravity
In anguish, I fall, my dreams disintegrate beneath me
I'm so close to giving in
With no promise of tomorrow
Is there redemption for my sins?
This is a trial by fire

I incinerate within
(burn)
Scorching underneath the skin
Thrown into an unforgiving crucible
(burn)
Strike the match, pull it back till my lungs turn black

Have I lost my identity?
'Cause, Lord, it feels like you don't see me
Trapped in this season of uncertainty
I refuse to curse my God in blasphemy
I will overcome the tragedy

I will not succumb; no evil will define my name
And when you strip back the flesh
And pour gold in place of my bones
Revive this broken soul
For I am a new-born creation
I'm embracing the flames, consume me whole
Born through the ashes of a broken soul

I incinerate within
(burn)
Scorching underneath the skin
Thrown into an unforgiving crucible
(burn)
Strike the match, pull it back till my lungs turn black
