Spleen - Furnance

There's some who'd want to hurt you
Some want to see you bleed
As others would pervert you
To satisfy their greed

This world is red in tooth and claw
The hunger to survive
I'm hurt yet I come back for more
Pain shows me I'm alive

And sinking in my darkest hour
So sure I will expire
I'm born again, born again from waves
Waves of blood and fire

There's some who'd want to break you
To stunt all you can be
Don't let their cruel words take you
Down to uncertainty

It's hate that feeds their anger
And fear that feeds their hate
Don't be the one to shoulder
The burden of that weight

And sinking in my darkest hour
So sure I will expire
I'm baptised, baptised in these waves
Waves of blood and fire

This is all I have to say
I cannot tell you more
It's in this fiery furnace
That my hardened heart was forged

And burning in the ashes
Of my youth's funeral pyre
A heart aglow, heart aglow
With blood and fire
