Lyrics
Sin: never a thing I'd pondered
What with those heathen gods
My inheritance
Thus begs the question
"to bear or to relinquish?"
Age: leaving its marks of greyness
On these eyes of ivory
Burdened with doubt
Thus calls the answer
"set flame and have your freedom"
And so does my body return to dust
Vital again, vibrant again, once again
Lashed thus to this ancient bark to die
Burning to ash
Am I now clean?
Am I reborn at last?
Time, foul enemy of glory
Would you so strip away
Such bliss and such mirth?
"Still we give this counsel
Set flame and know your freedom"
Spirit! No spirit had I honored
Until my very own crumbled
Before my eyes
And so does my body return to dust
Vital again, vibrant again, once again
Lashed thus to this ancient bark to die
Burning to ash
Am I now clean?
Am I reborn at last?
Clarity at last
Such respite at last
To again know mirth
And at last to see rebirth
Anguish disappeared
Regret disappeared
Repentance needs not here
For it is but a flame in the woods
Spirit! No spirit had I honored
Until my very own crumbled
Before my eyes
Set flame
Know freedom
