So this is who I become 
When You leave me to myself 
A burned-up, hollow, angry, empty shell 
An actor on a barren stage 
An even-keel with unchanneled rage 
Sinking deeper into hell 

Bind me to You 
Pierce me straight through 
Consume me with Your fire 
Ravage my heart 
Tear me clean apart 
And still be my Desire 

As I descend it starts again 

Sliding down, spiraling 
Gasping on the breath of corruption 
Fighting undertow 
Holding on, realizing 
My own hopeless helplessness 
Finally letting go 

All is madness as the flames engulf me 
Oblivion 
Refining fire making ashes of this life 
Burn, Fire, burn 
Clean this holy temple 
Resore Your holy Name 
In the onslaught of Your love 

And now, as gradual as the fall 
The dawn of hope 
The brilliant sun sending all the shadows fleeing 
Sweet daylight 
A new man rising from the ashes 
Clothed in white, bearing a new name 
I leave it all behind and take to flight
