Firesoul

Firelight flickering on the walls of the cave
Shapes and figures dancing fast they flutter and they wave
Someone pull up the shades, the sun is rising soon
We have hours to go yet before the dying of our tune
Yes, fan the flames, they must last us well past noon

Wild grows the dance and song, sparks flying through the air
Into the past our minds are thrown back down that ancient stair
Who knows the time of day, we're all alone in here
We blend together in the heat, this rhythmic flowing sphere
Yes, fan the flames, they must spread us everywhere
Only sound and movement, beyond the pale of fear

We are the fire we can feel its beating heart
No longer human we have set ourselves apart
Our dancing quickens, the shadows moving fast
Our song has no words, its channeled from the past
Our cave is infinite, our world invisible
We're one together, indivisible

I look in the fire, in the depths of its heat
I see the firesoul, the ember burning brightly as the night
I stop my dancing, my song disappears
For I've seen the truth of the flame

My friends are shouting, they've seen that I have stopped
But one by one they follow my eyes to the firesoul
They see the truth there, as plain as night or day
The shadows haven't stopped, they spin on, spin on
