Trial By Fire Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Am C D E

 Here and nAmow it doesn't matter

 The hiCghway you have taken

 For nDow as you awaken

 You're unEderneath new skin

I'm setting you in motion

And opening your eyes

And underneath these skies

You'll forget all whom you've been

I dust away the plaster

From off your breathing body

You're touching your autonomy

You'll never be the same

And fingers grab at nothing

For the first time they are feeling

For the first time they are healing

As I whisper your new name

AmI sculpt your natuCre within

DI am your PygmEalion

AmGo now iCnto the world

FTrial by fire, trEial by fire.

The passing of an hour

The splitting of a fraction

A chemical reaction

Is waiting to fluoresce

Your mind is still rewiring

The colors of the morning

The sound of hornets swarming

The glow of my caress

And have you seen the outside

The world that lies beyond us

Where streets are paved with jaundice

Where innocence forgot?

And have you seen the future?

So hard is it to hold you

So hard is it to mold you

To something you are not

And can you live on your own?

I give you up, I turn to stone

Go now into the world

Trial by fire

Here

Now

Start to move

Uncertain with each step you take

What is gentleness beyond my eyes

Beyond my bodyscape

Turn and look one more time

See me brimming with saltwater brine

Away you run

Away I give
