As I Lay Dying - Shaped By Fire Lyrics

As I Lay Dying Lyrics

"Shaped By Fire"

The wise before me chose to refine themselves
Melt away their shortcomings by enduring trials
A process we will all undertake
Even if we try to prevent change

Face it before you are pulled in
Face it while it's still within

Like iron shaped by fire
We aren't born this way
Shaped by fire
We are reborn through pain
We aren't born
We aren't born this way
We are reborn
We are reborn through pain

Though I too have endured fire
I wasn't wise enough to ignite the flame myself
But carried enough fuel for a flicker to excel

Face it before you are pulled in
Face it while it's still within

Face it before you are pulled in
Face it while it's still within

Shaped by fire
We aren't born this way
Shaped by fire
We are reborn through pain
We aren't born
We aren't born this way
We shall reborn through pain

Shaped by fire
We aren't born this way
Shaped by fire
We are reborn through pain
Through pain
We shall reborn
We all reborn through pain

The time has come
To watch the fire grow
Find new things to throw in
Don't let the flames get low
I've grown used to the heat
That makes me reevaluate
What I carry with me
And what should be thrown away

Face it before you are pulled in
Face it while it's still within

Like iron shaped by fire
We aren't born this way
Shaped by fire
We are reborn through pain
We aren't born
We aren't born this way
We are reborn through pain

Shaped by fire
We aren't born this way
Shaped by fire
We are reborn through pain
We shall reborn
We all reborn through pain

Announcing this song's music video, the band said about it, "While lyrically akin to the other Shaped By Fire single releases 'My Own Grave' and 'Redefined', we explored some different musical territory to incorporate within our established sound. We'd like to thank our director Mathis Arnell, all of the crew, and actors that contributed to making this video with us under the very hot conditions!"
