If my body was broken open   And You could look inside   Would You only find flesh?   Just the useless parts of an obsolete machine      Would there be any sign of life   Or would You only find death?   Would there be any evidence   Of a human soul trying to escape?   If a flame once burned within this shell   Set me on fire one last time      Is there a clear division of soul and spirit   Marrow and joint?   Can the human body still give You glory   Even in death?      May the ashes tell the story   Of what work was done within   May my soul pause to witness   As this body goes up in flame   Set me on fire
