Who Tends The Fire

Who tends the fire?

Who keeps the torches lit?

Who fills your eyes with smoke, so you can't see?

I need the fire, I need the torches lit

To see through all the smoke covering me

I have seen the fires burning

Burning through the night

I have watched the tides a turning

And they go from dark to light

What is this meaning?

What does this writing mean?

Where do I go? What do I do for now?

Prophecies are foolish

they never last, they never speak the truth

So why are they calling me now

I have seen the fires burning

Burning through the night

And I have watched the tides a turning

And they go from dark to light

I don't know 'cause I cannot see

All I'm sure is gotta be

I'm not sure that I'm even me

But I know that I gotta be

Yes I know that you're gonna die

Birth, life, death, is the reason why

Save those fears that you're gonna cry

'Cause I know that you're gonna die

Yes I know I cannot see

And I'm sure that I gotta be

All these voices are killin' me

And they say that I got, say that I got

Say that I gotta be me

Who tends the fire?

Who keeps the torches lit?

Who fill your eyes with smoke, so you can't see?

I need the fire, I need the torches lit to see

I have seen the fires burning

That burning through night

I have watched the tides a turning

Still the fire burning bright
