There is a fire to light a sleeping heart
A wish to see the Spirit take control
Crush the chains that hold you down
and let yourself be filled with fire
Wake up and realize the dream you've lived
was set up by the liar
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The Spirit will set you on fire
to give you strength to reach the ones
who search the truth with deep desire - Desire
Crucifixion of the ego
Death and burial of the old
Crush the chains that hold you down
and let yourself be filled with fire
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The Spirit will set you on fire
There is no spiritual authority
outside obedience to God
A broken heart is needed to reach this state
Divine encounter with the living God
The crucifixion of the ego
leads to the death and burial of the old life
A wish to see the Spirit take control
and let yourself be filled with fire
Wake up and realize the dream you've lived
was set up by the liar
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The Spirit will set you on fire
to give you strength to reach the ones
who search the truth with deep desire - Desire
Death and burial of the old
and let yourself be filled with fire
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The Spirit will set you on fire
outside obedience to God
Divine encounter with the living God
leads to the death and burial of the old life

This is my favorite Extol song, when i first got the cd i just played this one over and over, my friends thought i was a moron for it, but they finally learned to love the song as much as me....and im glad they did...
i agree completely...this song is absolutely amazing.it speaks to me..could this be love?
Great Song.......I believe it is about letting go of yourself and letting God take over. He will break your chains and save you from yourself and Satan.
Wow. This presents an extremely powerful message to me. It is also very close to what I wanted for an upcoming Youth Group lesson I am going to teach. Starts off more light and then almost knocks you off your feet/butt/whatever with their screaming vocals of truth.
"A broken heart is needed to reach this state.. Divine encounter with the living God"
I cant add anything to that. Really, i need to remember that, and crucify my ego. Thats one way i know you humble yourself before our Lord Jesus the Christ.
This song is great. Extol has an outstanding vocalist, a good drummer, and amazing guitarists.
This song represents to me about how you have to set fire to your soul and burn away your sins. It's about how if you play around sin too much, you will become chained. This is about gathering whats left of your dignity, and crushing those chains. It's about then lighting fire to Satan's soul and spitting in his face for the foolish things he's tempted you to do. Then, it's the calming down, and praying to God for his forgiveness. It goes from fire, to smolder, to a small ember.
"let yourself be filled with fire", what an idea if all Christians would just catch the flame and allow it to purge and refine us, then we would take this world by storm
I'm an atheist and I rock out to some Extol now and then. This is my favorite of their work.
