I
Hide my face (Can I?)
Remove my shame (Would you?)
How can I even bear to hear my name?
Standing still (Am I still?)
What looms ahead? (Who knows?)
I may as well be left for dead
Refrain
Stealing fire
I’ve been stealing fire
I’ve been on this wild pursuit
For a taste of your forbidden fruit
Stealing fire
I’ve been stealing fire
I’ve plucked every single flower
Squeezed the pleasure from every hour
II
Scorch my heart (Would you?)
Scar my soul (Please do)
Whatever it takes to break this fall…
On my knees (Watch me!)
Feeling tired (So tired)
Will you forgive this sinner
burning in Your fire?
Refrain
Stealing fire
(I’ve been) stealing fire
I’ve been on this wild pursuit
For a taste of Your forbidden fruit
Breathing fire
(I’ll end up) breathing fire
I’ve sucked the bone of all its marrow
But here I am just choking in sorrow
Coda
You get no warmth
From fire that’s been stolen
It only leaves you spent and broken
Burning in your own night
Stealing fire… stealing fire…
