Dance of the Fire's Flame

Dance around the fire flame, shadows whisper out our names,

Lost in our eternal shame on our journey to eternal fame.

We let the shadows lead the way, our bodies numb they start to sway,

Like children of the lands when the pipers famous flute did play.

I don't know what to say except that this is the way, the way we were raised, the way we were taught, & the way we stay.

They say life is a beautiful thing, as we sit back and watch all the little horrors it brings,

all the violence all the death

all the useless suffering

As we all chase our bands, tryna do our things.

All fighting demons with our fist in the air, throwing jabs, blocking hits, it's a dangerous affair

One step, two steps, like a real dancing pair.

We move back and forth in this hell of a fight, losing breath, catching hands, with our blurry sight.

We circle each other in this dangerous game.

As we all dance together around the fire's flames.
