Trial by Fire

To take a look into the future
This untamable beast
Is like to look into a wolf's eye
Ages staring back at me

It's tempting to sit and indulge in denial
But no one escapes their trial by fire

Memories flashing by
Of evil deeds done
Maybe my shadow is using me
To hide from the sun

It's easier to see our brother's imperfection
Than to aim the scrutiny at one's own reflection

When all your hiding places have been occupied
By your own demons, will you run or hide?

The evil you shun may be closer to you than you think
Renew your perspective, the devil might be
Where you least expect him to be if you care to see
If you care to see
If you dare to see

No one escapes their trial by fire
No one escapes
Set yourself ablaze
The purgatory is inside you
'Cause no ones escapes their trial by fire
No one escapes
Set yourself ablaze
The purgatory is inside you
To guide you
To purify you
Don't be afraid
Look steady at the light
I'll see you on the other side
