Shine through me
I’ll fan the flames
You bring the coal and ember
Fire so pure it ignites your soul
A light within, but by the grace of God
It burns
But it doesn’t hurt
And I waste away
Down to ashes
Down to dust
Down into the dirt
Into the black, to the darkness,
Lit by essence only
Shine through me
O’ hear me
All that calls itself holy
You don’t have a self
You are the elements themselves
So burn through me
And baptize me in your healing waters,
O father, of this vast deadly sea
O’ maiden, who finds worth
In the beauty
of dead earth
I’m here, singing,
Rescue my love,
Because
I need to see her
I need to bring her with me from the shore
Out of the structure of hades,
Into the light of Amadeus
