Sacred Fire

Take me down into the arms
Of every word I’ve found
Calling out to me amid
These strangers unraveling a tapestry

In my dreaming, in the throws of greed
In the lies that I would believe
For the way we sell our valour short
Keep us down, falling to the ever fading floor

I can see what the mirror reflects
In this ever lasting light
Every love I’ve seen in this
Waking dream will forever outshine all the suffering

The goddess comes to me
She is answering in this harmony
Lust for blood
And gold will never bring you hope

Pray at the temple for stars at night
Offering sorrow for vaticide
If we’re alive at the break of day
Give all you love for the sacrifice

There is nothing sacred
In that ornament worn in the dusk
It is deep inside your heart and mine
The chance for a life in golden tides

The streets ran ablaze
This is to be the ruin of kings
Vows of the covenant spoken in time
They all fall flat on their own irreverent tales of woe

With all the cryptic words
You trust to keep us sanctimonious
I’ll return to tell what I have seen
Free in faith and love, we will forever be

The moment I saw the sun
It was deep in her eyes and the crown was on fire
I’ll never look back again to the time
Of a lore in the hands of a saviour
Calling in the night
