Scourge & Fire

Search me out
Early in the day
Spare the club
Rot the child away
Because the loved you
Lacerate
To drive out what you hate
This ritual
To break the bond of sin
Comes from you
Master of my ways
I bow before you
Skinned alive

Trials by fire have begun
Battles of the flesh
A war!
The valley of the shadow of death
Satan's requests you grant
To drive the thorn
Deep in my flesh
It's my gain
To suffer for you
You put me through the fire
To burn up all the chaff
This elevates my soul higher
The gates of hell shall not prevail
Shall not prevail!

Rise
Take up the cross I bear
Hold my hand
And then proceed to nail
As we hang still
Bathed in blood
The blood has power
To raise the dead
I'm alive
By the blood of Christ
I offer myself
A living sacrifice
And I bow before you
Skinned alive
