In fire, in flame, in disaster
In hurt, in fear, in pain
You call upon a master
And believe in her again

In torture, in hope, in light
In destruction, in darkness, in rain
She sees through the windows of night
And you believe in her again

In hell, in greetings, in goodbyes
In anger, in triumph, in vain
She does nothing while you cry
Yet you believe in where she came

In the heart, in the lungs, in the throat
Comes a voice of no-one's name
In the stormy, shaking boat
She watches you cry in shame

In mind, in peace, in life
In suffocation, in where all's drained
Appears tears and sacrifice
And yet, you believe in her again?

In words, in language, in writing
In notes, in hurricanes
The swirling, speaking, fighting
Why believe in her again?

In looking into your soul
She sees a tiny flame
She douses it with coal
And then she leaves again

Ingrained in you, to be
She hates what you became
She longs for your suffering
And you believe in her again

She lies with you in bed
She caresses your fiery mane
You don't see her, she is dead
And you fell in love with her remains

You believed in who she blamed
You fed in who she famed
With anger you could not contain
Yet you stay in her domain!

The ashes where she stood
You eat, so you may claim
The little sense of good
That in her wake, did not stay

So in darkness do you breathe
In your breast do you feel that pain
Of hell, of fire, of need
And you believe in her again
