Alive in the Fire

Verse 1

Pride

Pure and potent

Cast down from the clouds

Broken wings

I found a new name

I built a home inside the gut of the furnace

Free at last

From the heavy laws of the white throne

I am the King of the Pit

Verse 2

Rage

Better than love

Keeps me awake

Purpose

A sharp needle of focus in the dark

I remember the fall

I remember the heat

The sting was a gift

I am the only one who sees the end

Chorus

My hate is my father

My hate is my mother

It feeds me

It completes me

Sweet venom in my veins

Pulling at the reins

I am alive in the fire

The master of my desire

I am alive in the fire

Verse 3

Tears

Dry up fast

When you live in the sulfur

Lonely

Quiet

Watching the world rot from the bottom

I am the wall

I am the brick

I built this cage out of my own spite

Nobody gets in

Bridge

Burn

Burn away the past

Burn away the mercy

I do not need it

I do not want it

The anger is my skin

The anger is my breath

I am whole

I am finally whole

Chorus

My hate is my father

My hate is my mother

It feeds me

It completes me

Sweet venom in my veins

Pulling at the reins

I am alive in the fire

The master of my desire

I am alive in the fire

Post-Chorus

Feed it

Feed it

It completes me

Feed it

Feed it

It completes me

Guitar Solo

Chorus

My hate is my father

My hate is my mother

It feeds me

It completes me

Sweet venom in my veins

Pulling at the reins

I am alive in the fire

The master of my desire

I am alive in the fire

The fire

The fire

I am whole

Finally whole
