lyrics

I close my eyes
And fall backwards,
Testing gravity just to prove I'm alive.
I am fighting like a madman,
My hands are tied by sleep,
And I cannot break free.

Cut, refine, perfect
This lead into gold,
I'm not afraid.
Bow before the throne of death
At the hour of my escape.

The more I clutch this rope to my chest,
The closer it is to breaking.
If I let go, would I be alone?
This lighthouse is caving in.

Go!

In this body I am confined
To an existence of eternal night.
And so I burn in this crucible
To bring my essence
Back to life.

Cast me away into the fire,
Let me refine into precious water.
And as I burn in my desire,
I am not lost even though I wander.
Cast me away into the fire,
Let me refine into precious water.
And as I burn in my desire,
I am not lost even though I wander.
(Cast me away, into the fire, let me burn)

Cut, refine, perfect
(Cast me away)
This lead into gold,
(Into this fire, let me burn)
I'm not afraid.
Bow before
(Cast me away)
The throne of death
(Into this fire, let me burn)
At the hour of my escape.

Dig deeper,
Feel the earth's pulse
In the underworld.
Oh, sleeper!
Raise yourself up,
Raise yourself up
From the underground,
Raise yourself up!
