this is gonna be a limited edition single at our rise against show free to the first 50 people. its a heads down assault.again the title came first and the lyrics were worked around it.
when i was doing research on the phrase theres alot different meanings for it from 'doing things the hard way' to 'soldier's first experience under fire in battle' to 'when someone receives the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands'. so theres parts of those in amongst the lyrics.

lyrics
im alone my hearts arrest on overload
hold my breath count back from ten its fear i know
fires alight its triple threat but im alive
i see you you see me its clear in night
cast me out
in the fire
baptise me
turn me on
fan the flame
baptised
baptism of fire

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
This Oakland group pulls no punches, serving up a hard-hitting punk album that recalls the blistering brilliance of Refused. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2020
