Lyrics:
Let's take a moment and break the ice

So my intentions are known

See I have pity in watching you suffer

I know the feeling of being damned alone

I've got a storybook of my own

Don't you see I am your pride,

Agent of wealth,

Bearer of needs? (And you know it's right)

I am your war

Arming the strong

Aiding the weak

Know me by name

Shepherd of fire

Well I can promise you paradise

No need to serve on your knees

And when you're lost in the darkest of hours

Take a moment and tell me who you see

Won't tell you who not to be

Now you know I am your pride,

Agent of wealth,

Bearer of needs. (And you know it's right)

I am your war

Arming the strong

Aiding the weak

Know me by name

Shepherd of fire

Disciple of the cross and champion in suffering

Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption

Harden your mind through the chains of the divine

Make way for the shepherd of fire

Through the ages of time

I've been known for my hate

But I'm a dealer of simple choices

For me it's never too late

I am your pride,

Agent of wealth,

Bearer of needs. (And you know it's right)

I am your war

Arming the strong

Aiding the weak

I am your wrath.

I am your guilt.

I am your lust. (And you know it's right)

I am your law.

I am your star.

I am your trust.

Know me by name

Shepherd of fire
