You've laid waste to all my life
And we've reached the end of this chase now
For finally I'm ready to embrace
The transforming powers of your storms
And my need for the pain you bring
Bring me to life again

Everything I have I offer to your flames
Take what you have to take
Then let me be reborn in your arms again

Teach me how to fall, to fly, to die
Make me the fearless lover I once was

I trust in the wisdom of your strangling arms
And in the healing of your deadliest poison
For today I'm brave enough to trust the wild again

Everything I have I offer to your flames
Take what you have to take
Then let me be reborn in your arms again
Let me be reborn in your arms again

Teach me how to fall, to fly, to die
Make me the fearless lover I once was
Teach me how to trust and to love you
Bring back the child-wise angel I once was

You've always hated dresses that are white
So can you bring back my darker colours?
You never liked me turning into sand
Can your hands bring me into form again?

Everything I have I offer to your flames
Take what you have to take
Then let me be reborn in your arms again
Let me be reborn in your arms again

Teach me how to fall, to fly, to die
Make me the fearless lover I once was
Teach me how to trust and to love you
Bring back the child-wise angel I once was
For once I was you
Fearless as you
Fearless in love with you
For once I was you
In love with you
