Yesterday I set myself on fire
With my own hands I built that funeral pyre
I built it so high that flames touched the sky
And now I am alive because I died


I am born of the flames
My sapphire eyes see through the haze
I live to fight another day
Oh I've been baptized by the blaze

Today I wiped the ashes from my eyes
Kicked off the dust I am indemnified
With thunderous voice, I testify
And with a mighty force I spread my wings and fly

I am born of the flames
My sapphire eyes see through the haze
I live to fight another day
Oh I've been baptized by the blaze

In the fire I screamed and writhed
Out of this dusty grave
I rise

I am born of the flames
My sapphire eyes see through the haze
I live to fight another day
Oh I've been baptized by the blaze
