Fire to Fire With fire you came, With fire you went; Imparting, restarting and keen to ferment The destructive divisions that bruise human hearts So your children could play out their predestined parts. With dawn you gave, With dawn you took; Forgiving, admitting, dictating your book. Words that enslave but purport to set free Condemn you and me to fail such as thee. With evening you harvest, With evening you leave To the Grave slaves of instinct who all believed That the Ultimate Love would erase their sad guilt Because of the blood that from one man was spilt.

Fire to Fire
Fire to Fire With fire you came, With fire you went; Imparting, restarting and keen to ferment The destructive divisions that bruise human hearts So your children could play out their predestined parts. With dawn you gave, With dawn you took; Forgiving, admitting, dictating your book. Words that enslave but purport to set free Condemn you and me to fail such as thee. With evening you harvest, With evening you leave To the Grave slaves of instinct who all believed That the Ultimate Love would erase their sad guilt Because of the blood that from one man was spilt.
when you draw near to Him, you lose your slavery to instinct. The converse also applies...
