Debt of Faith

 
 
My heart was full of flames
Now there’s smoke in my eyes
Everything has changed
But I can’t tell you why
 
I’m on fire, I’m burning
A simple spark now consumes
Winds of ash are churning
The debt of faith has come due 
 
Will I dance with the flames
Or run far away?
Is there enough grace
To make me want to stay?
 
I’m choking on black smoke
Hot tears on my face
Thirsty for mercy
Revive the burning blaze
 
Will I dance with the failing flames
Or run far away? 
Is there enough grace
To make me want to stay?
 
All my fiery dreams have died
And left me dying alive
 
A pit of embers
Is all that remains
I’ll spread these cinders
On this holiest place
 
I can’t dance with the flames
They’ve burned down and away
There’s not enough grace
To make me want to stay
 
I’ll run far away
There’s not enough grace
To make me want to stay
