Lyrics

What once burned so violent in your heart
Is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you
What you embrace is what you become
And I can see in your face the things you used to run from

So much to belong to, so much to pursue
So much to consume, so much to consume you
You will get burned, when you touch a flame
I guess you've learned that from the pain
Are you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
All alone in a world that left you cold

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
Brother to brother, if you lose your grip
And as air is to a fire, so we will be to each other
One to another, if I start to slip

What once burned so violent in your heart
Is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you
What you embrace is what you become
And I can see in your face the things you used to run from
Are you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?
All alone in a world that left you cold
