Committed to the Fire
Like the sea to the foam
Like the foam to the shore
Like the shore to the land
I’m committed
I’m committed
I’m committed
Into your hand
I’m committed
I’m committed
I’m committed
Committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
The time has come to walk the distance
No more compromise
No more resistance
No more questions, only trust
What the Fire destroys can only be dust
But will the Flame devour me?
Can I withstand the power in me?
This is the moment of truth!
Am I fireproof?
I’m committed
I’m committed
I’m committed
Committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
I’ve been sanctioned by your name
By the purity of Flame
You’re all that I desire
I’m committed to the Fire
Starve my body ‘till it’s thin
Shave my head, anoint my skin
Take all the hope I had in men
All the comfort of the pen
Take this body it’s a fake
Come tie me to the stake
For I’m committed
I’m committed to the Fire
Yes I’m committed
I’m committed
I’m committed
Committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
When I was off and wandering
Without a sense of shame
You stayed at home guarding the Flame
Now as you promised to forgive
Please throw me to the Flames and let me live
I know there’s only one way
I can no longer pretend
Since you once came down for me
Now I must ascend
I’m committed
I’m committed
I’m committed
Committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
I’m committed to the Fire
