Trial By Fire

Spare me your lies
And your transparent tears 
You grieve not your crimes,
You've lost track of your sins

You didnt think twice
As the words left your lips
To end my short life,
Send me to the crypts

Your wish was in vain
I refused to give up
And you gave me your love
Though it came with a knife

 Death disobeyed you,
Wouldn't heed your call
When you tried to burn me,
Destruction set me free

The flames made me strong,  
A reborn child of pain
Don't call yourself a mother!
How dare you make that claim?
