My enemies lit the fire
When I was down on my luck
An all exposing pyre
To hinder my getting up
I sat consumed in flame
Letting it singe every part
Acknowledging the blame
That had shadowed my heart
In tears, I watched friends walk away
Extinguishing the spark
Shedding the shame and saving face
Leaving me in their dark
All alone, I faced my demons
As they danced in the flames
Begging me to join them
As they screamed out my name
As a sacrifice of ash
Wearing my penance around
I await my death line dash
To be presented my crown
