lyrics

Common sense would tell us
To share and share alike
But now the iron’s hot as hell
I say it’s time to strike
I sought to ask one question:
Have once again I failed?
What must I do to qualify,
My efforts to avail?

She told me scorch
Clear the damage with a torch
Raze it to the ground and start it all again
Drive out all impurities
Purging flame will set you free
Rise from the scree and face down what’s within
Go forth and scorch

For don’t you know that if you strike
An iron that’s still hot
Then it won’t even matter
If you qualify or not
I posed another question:
How can I sustain the burn?
How can I keep on going
With blind corners every turn?

She told me scorch
Clear the damage with a torch
Raze it to the ground and start it all again
Drive out all impurities
Purging flame will set you free
Rise from the scree and face down what’s within
Go forth and scorch

I had a final question
(The darkest of my fears):
Can it truly break the curse
That I’ve borne so many years?
No more the sword of Damocles
Will hang above your head
A lion’s heart, a steady hand
Will be your lot instead

She told me scorch
Clear the damage with a torch
Raze it to the ground and start it all again
Drive out all impurities
Purging flame will set you free
Rise from the scree and face down what’s within
Go forth and scorch
