Discover the story of the song > Cleansed By Fire – Alice Cooper

In these lyrics, the protagonist is talking to someone who has promised him all the riches and pleasures of the world, but the protagonist can see through their lies. The protagonist knows that this person is actually a fallen star and tries to disguise themselves, but the protagonist can see right through it. The protagonist questions this person about all the wrong and bad things they are offering, and wonders about the truth, light, and love instead. In the end, the protagonist realizes that this person has no power over them and tells them to go back to where they belong.
