The Fire (Remains)
The Dear Hunter

For so long have my teeth held my tongue from a venomous voice

But the poison has passed from my lips to my hands

An incendiary ploy

(Hell will open up it's flue)

I bare my soul through the flames before me

(And you will witness what the fire can undo)


Far from the ash I will be born again

Where every debt is repaid

Nothing left to keep me out of paradise

As portraits of the past fade away


The id dots the eyes of antiquity

While the ego, of late, has held sway

Too foolish to stray past the line too weary to stay, too weary to stay


Far too long have I waited to witness the balances bend

In the favor of wrongs being remedied

Wickedness coming to an end


Far from the ash I will be born again

Where every debt is repaid

Nothing left to keep me out of paradise

As portraits of the past fade away


Far beyond the act I will be whole again


A phoenix out of the flame

I'm burying that menace in my memory

A funeral held in my name


The ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky

As the building continues to burn

The wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave

As the lies are retired to the urn


But we can't keep the embers from catching

The truth from destroying us all

Do I die as the martyr or miscreant?

I'll make the call, I'll make the call


Far from the ash I will be born again

We here every debt is repaid

Nothing left to keep me out of paradise

As portraits of the past fade away


Far beyond the act I will be whole again

A phoenix out of the flame

I'm burying that menace in my memory

A funeral held in my name
