strange fire

i come to you with strange fire

i make an offering of love

the incense of my soul is burned

by the fire in my blood

i come with a softer answer

to the questions that lie in your path

i want to harbor you from the anger

find a refuge from the wrath

this is a message

a message of love

love that moves from the inside out

love that never grows tired

i come to you with strange fire

fire

mercenaries of the shrine

now who are you to speak for god

with haughty eyes and lying tongues

and hands that shed innocent blood

now who delivered you the power

to interpret calvary

you gamble away our freedom

to gain your own authority

find another state of mind

you know it's time we all learned

to grab hold

strange fire burns

with the motion of love

fire

fire

when you learn to love yourself

you will dissolve all the stones that are cast

now you will learn to burn the icing sky

to melt the waxen mask

i said to have the gift of true release

this is a peace that will take you higher

oh i come to you with my offering

i bring you strange fire

this is a message

a message of love

love that moves from the inside out

love that never grows tired

i come to you with strange fire

fire

fire

i come to you with strange fire
