Through the fire, refined as silver and after, tried as gold
They shall call His name and He will hear them, Lord my God
Chosen in the furnace of affliction, He’s chosen us
Far beyond material, His trying is of our hearts
Sharpening the Iron that’s inside, a friendly countenance
Stronger every time the iron’s stricken, new competence
Thicker skin to wrap around our insides, shield against the vain offense of men
Gains are made and then are surely paid by a humble price of struggle and of pain
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Through the fire, refined as silver and after, tried as gold
They shall call His name and He will hear them, Lord my God
Chosen in the furnace of affliction, He’s chosen us
Far beyond material, His trying is of our hearts
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Chink in your armor
But here is where I stand
Uphold His righteousness
I call you to be a better man
It takes two to spar
Forged by fire, cooled by grace
Evidence of scars
Sharpening the Iron that’s inside, a friendly countenance
Stronger every time the iron’s stricken, new competence
Thicker skin to wrap around our insides, shield against the vain offense of men
Gains are made and then are surely paid by a humble price of struggle and of pain
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God

This a fantastic album for scaring the hell out of non metal heads (pun intended). This was the first deathcore album I heard and it's still the heaviest and still my favorite. God bless I hope this band gets the attention it deserves. i_fishbw
