Sad Gaze Into the Fire

With a final sad gaze into the fire 
A fiery blaze, I speak of my desire
I recognize my lies, my regrets
I fear the consequence of every act
The wandering path is empty
Even as the journey might reward
Although I know I have empathy
It isn't expressed well through words
So now I've realized what I must do
Sacrifice my ego, surrender my being
Accept my blame, tempting the flame
Step forward into the fire and remember
If my sins forbid me Heaven 
My entire life was poorly spent
If I am his sword I'm quite bent
So if I am doomed, if fire purifies steel
Let your fire melt me, let me be pure
Let me be moved, let me finally be consumed
