Oh, dear mortal
How dark and cold your world is
Come and burn
Just fall into the flames,
(You know you can’t resist)
Give into those nightmares
The ones you wait for in the dark
The ones that burn you up
And turn your heart to ash,
(You know they’re really dreams)
Oh, dear mortal
Do you see the smoke rising?
Hear the crackle and the hiss
And see the sparks jumping to life?
(You know you can)
Come and see the candlelight
See it sway; see its light
Come and see the fight
Or see it fall to darkness,
(You know you fear it most)
Oh, dear mortal
You really don’t belong—do you?
Come and burn
Just fall into the flames…
