Burning bright, burning light filling the world with radiant light
Embers flutter around a hazel ground
And sparks fly past the moon's gaze.
Fly on by, fly on by until your heat embraces another one
Come on, come on and open your bright door
And show the way into your home.
If everyone knew what a humble thing of nature you were
Nobody would be afraid of what you can do
When others anger you and cause you to change.
When you change your radiancy vanishes
Your warm embrace is now a thing of the past
For now you are a destructive thing.
Go along, go along, upon this path which you follow
People cry, people cry and wonder why you would betray them
This humble light which gives us warmth in the harsh coldness
Is now killing and burning everything in its path.
What a beauteous thing, a wicked cause of nature
It will fill us with warmth and comfort
Trying to buy people with its tender love.
Before turning its back on those who embrace it
And transforms into a chaotic symphony of death
Burning everything that betrayed it.
