lyrics

This fire's fueled by coals of the past
Her breath has blown on it at last
The hole is gone, a draft, the boulders
A burden lifted off my shoulders

A promise was made for the sake of the flames
So that neither would see darker days
But as the fire died, a spark remained
How could she turn away from her mistake?

Tracing the steps before me
I remember the darker days
Replacing the prints behind me
I remember what I can make

If I was molded by the fire
When it rains will I fade away?
Will the wind decide to take me
And turn me into something great?
So do I rely on nature's calling
Or will I burn forever more?
'Cause when a bitter soul needs healing
It could just use a little warmth

I used to beg for the pain to cease
The heat was too intense for me
At times when I was lost and weak
I could feel the shadow reaching out for me

But I've walked throughout the fire
The sparks remind me of their eyes
You see, the flame is what they desire
With no care of what ignites

Tracing the steps before me
I remember the darker days
Replacing the prints behind me
I remember what I can make

Rising to heights above you
I want you to see what you've made
Erasing the scars entirely
Take a look at my face

If I was molded by the fire
When it rains will I fade away?
Will the wind decide to take me
And turn me into something great?
So do I rely on nature's calling
Or will I burn forever more?
'Cause when a bitter soul needs healing
It could just use a little warmth

I've burned into ashes
And picked up the pieces
My glass heart was shattered
Now ask me how I'm breathing

I was forged by the fire
What I carry is its wake
I was built within destruction
Now there is nothing left to take
