Walk Through The Fire
Eric Marienthal Lyrics

In the darkness it finds me
The fire of the situation finds and consumes me in the dark times.

The terrible fire
Describing the magnitude of the fire that burns inside.

It don't matter how much I pray
No matter how much I petition, I cannot be saved from the flames.

The flames leap and burn me
The fierce flames jump and scorch me with much intensity.

There's nothing I can do
I am helpless and unable to control the situation.

To make the fear go away
I cannot alleviate the fear that grips me, it remains with me.

I try to keep moving
I struggle on, moving with caution and determination.

Try not to look back
I try not to reflect on the hurtful memories from the past.

Push really hard on the stone
I put in all my effort towards overcoming the predicament.

But I walk through the fire alone
Despite my attempt at trying, I am left with only myself to endure the current situation.

The tree by my window
There is a tree that stands beside my window.

Turns gray in November
In November, the tree changes color and turns grey.

I watch the leaves as they fall
I observe the leaves as they drop from the tree.

The branches left naked
The bare branches remain without the covering of leaves.

Reach up so proudly
The branches grow upwards gracefully.

I wish to God you would call
I hope that you would make contact with me.

But me I'm the dead one
I am the one who is lifeless and unresponsive.

You are the lover
You were the one who loved me.

Who loved me right down to my bones
You loved me with deep passion, touching every part of my being.

Now I walk through the fire alone
Presently, I walk through the heart of the crisis unaccompanied.

The powers that push me
The forces that propel me onward.

They move me they own me
They control me, manipulating me to move towards their will.

They constantly tell me to run
The powers in control urge me to escape.

I try not to listen
I try my best to block out their commands.

I try to fight them
I attempt to resist them.

But never a battle I've won
I've never been successful in a fight against them.

So let go of lovers
I gave up on lovers.

I let go of diamonds
I stopped chasing material things.

I've plenty of sins to atone
I have much remorse to reconcile with from things I have done.

While I walk through the fire alone
Even as I go through the hard times alone.

Hold onto your children
Keep your offspring near to you.

Hold onto your mama
Keep your mother close to you.

Hold onto the ones that you love
Hold fast to those dearest to you.

Hold onto your heart
Protect your heart from getting hurt.

Hold onto your visions
Hold on to your dreams and aspirations.

Hold onto what you're dreaming of
Do not let go of the things that you aspire for.

If there's something missing
If there is something that lacks.

Or if you're hiding from
Or if you are avoiding and escaping.

Someone you long to have known
Someone that you desire to associate with.

Then you'll walk through the fire
That is when you will go through the intense situations.

Walk through the fire
To pass through the testing times.

Walk through the fire alone
Go through the distressing times with no help.
