Strange Fire

i come to you with strange fire
 i make an offering of love
 the incense of my soul is burned
 by the fire in my blood
 i come with a softer answer
 to the questions that lie in your path
 i want to harbor you from the anger
 find a refuge from the wrath
 this is a message
 a message of love
 love that moves from the inside out
 love that never grows tired
 i come to you with strange fire
 fire
 mercenaries of the shrine
 now who are you to speak for god
 with haughty eyes and lying tongues
 and hands that shed innocent blood
 now who delivered you the power
 to interpret calvary
 you gamble away our freedom
 to gain your own authority
 find another state of mind
 you know it's time we all learned
 to grab hold
 strange fire burns
 with the motion of love
 fire
 fire
 when you learn to love yourself
 you will dissolve all the stones that are cast
 now you will learn to burn the icing sky
 to melt the waxen mask
 i said to have the gift of true release
 this is a peace that will take you higher
 oh i come to you with my offering
 i bring you strange fire
 this is a message
 a message of love
 love that moves from the inside out
 love that never grows tired
 i come to you with strange fire
 fire
 fire
 i come to you with strange fire
