What is the translation for Destined to burn, destined to rise in Latin?

So I'm looking for the latin translation to the english phrase:





Destined to burn,


Destined to rise





This is going to be a part of my new tattoo so... it's kinda imperative that I get it right. According to my research the translation is:





Fatum ustulo,


Fatum ut orior oriri ortus





Is this correct?|||No.


"Fatum" is a noun meaning destiny or oracle, also a perfect participle of a verb for "to say".





The correct Latin word for "destined" is "natus" (= born)


Natus (female: "nata", neuter "natum") ardendus (-a,-um),


natus resurgendus (a,-um), or, since that is a passive form, "natus ut resurgat", if the 3rd person is meant.
