Prompt:

[Verse 1] I have bitten back the ember, I have swallowed every spark. Kept my hands folded together, Kept my fire in the dark. You can curse me, you can cut me, I have weathered worse than you. But there comes a point of burning— And you’ve just broken through. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I warned you. Once was enough. Now watch the little flame Become too much. [Chorus] Then let it burn, Let heaven turn its face away. Let every lock run molten, Let the iron learn my name. Let it burn, Let it rise and let it breathe. You wanted fire— Now look at me. [Verse 2] First a flame between my fingers, Then a streak across the night. Then another, then another, Till the dark is bleeding light. I have spent my whole life tending Every spark before it grew. Now I think I’ll let it hunger. Now I think I’ll let it through. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I warned you. Now stand aside. There’s nowhere left For all this heat to hide. [Chorus] Then let it burn, Let heaven turn its face away. Let every lock run molten, Let the iron learn my name. Let it burn, Let it rise and let it breathe. You wanted fire— Now look at me. [Bridge] Higher— Higher— Till the whole world turns to gold. Hotter— Hotter— I am done with being cold. I can heal. I can mend. I can pull you from the edge. But I can scorch. I can sear. I can be the fire instead. [Final Chorus] Then let it burn, Let heaven turn its face away. Let every lock run molten, Let the iron learn my name. Let it burn, I have nothing left to tame. I have swallowed fire Long enough— Now let it Say my name. Let it burn. Let it burn.
