The Violent Flame

VERSE

G 

The holiest being

                          C

That you'll ever meet

Is right there below you

Under your feet

She hides the beauty of her true light

Under material form

To render to us sustenance

Until we return

BRIDGE

                         C                      Em              

But we don't honour her name

       C               Em     

We defile and defame

             C                         D

And involve ourselves over again

CHORUS

G                               C

Bring up the violet flame

G                                 C

Transmute the dross in this frame

        G

While we scar her body

         Em

And we cause her pain

       C                    D          G

Still she gives her violet flame

VERSE

Blessed is this Goddess

Who gave us refuge 

Instead of accepting unlimited gowns

She refused

So that we can gain experience

On our way back to God

she has not yet demanded

That we change or leave

BRIDGE

But we don't honour her name 

We defile and defame

And involve ourselves over again

CHORUS

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame

MIDDLE

Bm                                 G 

How can she suffer so much?

Em                       Bm

Silent in solemn sacrifice

While we dam her arteries

And cut chunks out of her flesh

Commit foul acts against this angel

The very being that sustains us

BRIDGE

When her seeking children ask her 

Still she gives her flame of transmutation

CHORUS

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame 

LYRICS:

The holiest being

That you'll ever meet

Is right there below you

Under your feet

She hides the beauty of her true light

Under material form

To render to us sustenance

Until we return

        

But we don't honour her name

We defile and defame

And involve ourselves over again

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

Blessed is this Goddess

Who gave us refuge 

Instead of accepting unlimited gowns

She refused

So that we can gain experience

On our way back to God

she has not yet demanded

That we change or leave

But we don't honour her name 

We defile and defame

And involve ourselves over again

Bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame

How can she suffer so much?

Silent in solemn sacrifice

While we dam her arteries

And cut chunks out of her flesh

Commit foul acts against this angel

The very being that sustains us

When her seeking children ask her 

Still she gives her flame of transmutation

So bring up the violet flame

Transmute the dross in this frame

While we scar her body

And we cause her pain

Still she gives her violet flame

So bring up the violet flame

protection of power retained

She gives this willingly

Without a claim

Love it is a violet flame
