Fire and Ice

To sacrifice, you have to go through the fire  
To leave a trail of no desire  
To melt the ice that bound your feet  
Keep moving forward toward the heat  
Fight the feeling of the heat within  
Go through the flames for the win  
Open the doors to great possibility  
Don't remember the past that left you in misery  
The fire is out, and the ice has melted through  
Now start the beginning of a beautiful life that's in front of you
