Reborn in the Fire

Pieter Frankefort

I see the fire spread
Dark plumes conceal the sun
Replaced by halo of fire
An omen for what is to come

I won't flee from the sea of flame
Burn out this woodland blight
Clear out the canopy
And make way for new light

I feel a breeze
I feel a warmth surround me
In winds of change
I hear my name

Reborn in the fire
Light up the midnight sky
Pull free from the mire
Brand me with darkened sign

Reborn in the fire
Release trapped hope I catch
Pull free from the mire
New life sings from the ash

Ravens in flight
The branches and leaves of trees that felt like home
No longer suitable

The razing is here
No longer can shelter be found underneath
Rain clouds have gone to sleep

I feel a breeze
I feel a warmth surround me
In winds of change
I hear my name

Reborn in the fire
Light up the midnight sky
Pull free from the mire
Brand me with darkened sign

Reborn in the fire
Release trapped hope I catch
Pull free from the mire
New life sings from the ash

Release trapped hope I catch
New life sings from the ash

This sickened wood must die
Let the flames purify

Let go of this fear
Let go of this doubt
Let go of this pointless urge to be the seer of my life

This sickened wood must die
Let the flames purify

I feel a breeze
I feel a warmth surround me
In winds of change
I hear my name

Reborn in the fire
Light up the midnight sky
Pull free from the mire
Brand me with darkened sign

Reborn in the fire
Release trapped hope I catch
Pull free from the mire
New life sings from the ash

From the ash
