Strange Fire

by The Indigo Girls

i come to you with strange fire, i make an offering of
love. the incense of my soil is burned by the fire in my
blood. i come with a softer answer to the questions
that lie in your path. i want to harbor you from the
anger, find a refuge from the wrath.
chorus: this is a message of love. love that moves from
the inside out, love that never grows tired. i
come to you with strange fire.

mercenaries of the shrine, who are you to speak for
god? with haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands
that shed innocent blood. who delivered you the
power to interpret calvary? you gamble away our
freedom to gain your own authority.

find another state of mind. grab hold. strange fire
burns with the motion of love.

when you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all
the stones that are cast. you will learn to burn the
icing sky and to melt the waxen mask. yes, to have the
gift of true release, this is a peace that will take you
higher. i come to you with my offering, i bring you
strange fire.

chorus:
