Set the Fire
Set the Fire
Set the fire —
burn me clean,
Feed the flame,
I'll shape the scene.
Don't kill the heat,
don't fade away,
Don't let shadows
reign again.
Set the fire —
let it bloom,
Ash to love,
and love to gloom.
From the scars
beneath my skin,
Let the light
of me begin.
Through the light,
I see your face,
Lost in fire's
brief embrace.
Chains of pain
around me close,
Burn to dust,
like wilted rose.
Make a lie
I will believe,
Love is right,
it can deceive.
You decide—
just tell me where?
Everywhere,
I need you there.
Set the fire —
burn me clean,
Feed the flame,
I'll shape the scene.
Don't kill the heat,
don't fade away,
Don't let darkness
reign again.
Echoed screams
beneath my skin,
Fade to songs
of what has been.
Let the pain
stay and lie,
Let me burn,
but never die.
Set the fire —
one last time,
Turn my loss
to wordless rhyme.
Cold remains,
but fire stays,
In the ash,
the silence plays.
