Return of the Fire Within

Alone in the light
Just barely scraping by
I'm itching for a fight
I tear away from the urge to die

I'm wide awake from a bolt of lightning
I realize my position now
Man or machine, the lines are blurred
As the fire burns in my soul

Burning now, released from my chains
I'm clawing towards the light
No burnout from this flamethrowing fury
Ten thousand fires ignite

Full throttle, hit the ground running
With the passion to excel

God help those who think I'm giving up here.
