lyrics

Burn in the fire
Cleanse in the river
Stripped by the Gale
Erupt from the Earth
Transformation

(Karen)

As I burn these molten layers of ego
I realise it’s imperative to kneel and let go
Of the need to control
My only authority is internal

Take these thoughts of destruction
And bury them deep in the earth
Let me decompose what no longer serves
To bring about my rebirth

Let go let live is my innermost chant
I’m trying to rise above thinking I cant
Cleanse my soul
Feel my love

So I may rise again
From my cycle of pain
My eyes unblinking as the tears fall
Open my heart to freedom
