Come closer

Some say the world will end in fire

Some say the world will end in ice

From what I have tasted of desire

I hold with those who favour fire

But if it had to perish twice

I know enough hate that for destruction would be ice

Don't go near the flames

Beware of the sparks and heat

Beware of the white hot ash

That burns beneath our feet

Come closer

Grow higher

Nothing to fear

I'm the whole damn fire

I crackle

I rise

From embers to sky

Don't try to tame me

Don't ask me why

Some build their walls with frost and stone

Silent, frozen, all alone

But I was born of smoke and sound

I burn what's lost, I stand my ground

Don't speak of control

This heat can't be chained

You can dance in the glow

But never contain

Come closer

Grow higher

Nothing to fear

I'm the whole damn fire

I flicker

I roar

I've burned down before

And still I return

To ignite once more

Would you rather freeze than feel this pain

Would you rather silence than feel the flame

I've seen the end in both disguise

But I still choose to rise

Come closer

Grow higher

Don't look away

I'm the whole damn fire

No ice can hold me

No dark can drown

I burn it all

Then light this ground
