"Set Your Body Ablaze" lyrics

"Set Your Body Ablaze"

From flesh to steel
I fortify this easily splintered bone
Into a stronghold of will
As the balance of man lay beaten
In the wake of its own
In the wake of its own frailty

Hollow words will burn
Hollow men will burn

A horde eager to accept deceit
And more so to speak it
Words will sear the throats of all who freely beguile
The truth burns through my veins
And in my black heart
Breathe the flame that will overwhelm you;
Flaw
Flaw ignites swiftly

A horde eager to accept deceit
And more so to speak it
Words will sear the throats of all who freely beguile
Breathe the flame

A product of conceit so absorbed and vain that he thinks himself divine;
He is sure to die
Deprived of life
And man must truly be God;
For He has tried so hard to create me in His image
Deprived of life
A formless shadow deprived of life

I am the wayward son of man
My fathers have darkened
What was the warmest heart the world would have ever known
Relish in what you have created
Deprived of life
A formless shadow deprived of life

Set your body ablaze
How can flesh be arrogant when it is so easily charred
A lesson need be learned
These blistered hands will come to be
The iron fist that bestows true and proper perspective
Set your body ablaze

Set your body ablaze
Burn
Hollow words will burn and hollow men will burn
Hollow words will burn and hollow men will burn
