in the furnace: chosen

she was cold as ice
in his fire she burned
once the sacrifice
now from heaven returned

she was built to kill
he was born to die
she is burning still
in his sky

in the fires of hell
he was once reborn
as a monster made
by a man untorn

once she lent him light
and she gave him grace
and she shone so bright
that he could not
know her
face

he was built to kill
she was born to die
he is burning still
in her sky

and she gave him trust
and she chose to save
and she went to hell
and she pulled him
from his
grave

once he gave her love
that she could not choose
now she gives him love
that he cannot use

from her frozen heart
came that love she gave
in the realm of art
he has chosen
still to
save

in the fire this time
he is born again
he has been remade
without stain

now he gives her back
all the fire she lost
there's a world to save
and he will not
count the
cost

he was cold as ice
in the fire he burned
once the sacrifice
now to heaven returned

and he gives her back
all the love she gave
and he gives her life
and he pulls her
from her
grave
