lyrics

Intro:
I've stared God in the face and denied him.

Verse1:
Child
Don't speak to me that way
I am disgusted by your
Misplaced condescension
Now witness my ascention
Turn your
eyes to see my glory eclipse
your delusion:

Your ignorant sense of pride

Prechorus1:
Deny any semblance of honor
You're unworthy of the claim
For Hubris is my name

Chorus:
I am enlightened beyond your comprehension
I am the Baptist of Fire
I've shown you mercy, but your
Insolence tests my apprehension
Be still and
know my name

Verse2:
You filthy arrogant scum
My mercy frees you of your prison under my thumb

Prechorus2:
Test me
I dare you
It's my name you swear to
My patience is wearing thin

Chorus:
I am enlightened beyond your comprehension
I am the Baptist of Fire
I've shown you mercy, but your
Insolence tests my apprehension
Be still and
know my name

Verse3:
Insignificant,
I find you guilty of my sin
Behold my grandeur
You cannot win

Prechorus1:
Deny any semblance of honor
You're unworthy of the claim
For Hubris is my name

Chorus:
I am enlightened beyond your comprehension
I am the Baptist of Fire
I've shown you mercy, but your
Insolence tests my apprehension
Be still and
know my name
