Like a Sea of Flames
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Diversify my days
Into your sea I want to dive
When I fall ill with haze
Too many faults that you will find
You've got to bear them all
Relieve me from my haughty kind
Pride goes before I fall
Don't pronounce me guilty when I lie
Be merciful to me
Have patience with me when I cry
For your charity
Be near me when I need you most
Tranquilize my soul
Delight me like a blooming rose
Then I'll reach my goal
Like a sea of flames
Like a sea of flames
Like a sea of flames
You warm me, day by day
You turn down the coldest cold
You're like a sea of flames
You give me shelter till I'm old
And you keep me from shame
You will be the guiding light
When I lose my way
You will lead me through the night
And also through the day
Like a sea of flames
Like a sea of flames
Like a sea of flames
You warm me, day by day
