lyrics

Wandering alone
In the shadowy vale
Of my cold meditations
Out of the earth
The water is flowing
And it hastens me to the light

Deep in my core
I am drained of the darkness on which I rely
No more can my struggle define me
The acid well runs dry

Eager I rise
Hearing the rush of the wind
In my quickening heartbeat
As my blood
Commingles with fire
I depart from this cage of fear

I am alive
Remade and transmuted in my crucible mind
I am changed by the road I have taken
My elements combined

Approaching this higher state
Freed from my doubt and my shame
To create
An ever-burning flame

Here I am, emerging anew
From out of the darkness that once was my home
I have walked through the shining water, cleansing, clear and cold
Emerging anew
Forever remade in the brightness of dawn
At one with this world
I will transform this iron into gold
