The Fire Is Waiting lyrics

The Fire is waiting watch it smolder While the wind carries us away Where dust collects the driftings over Near the fire dust turns to ash What men are we still Is the red ring where we'll meet? We're praying to the shadows Cut by light of fire This happy heart what blessed wonder Then the golden ring formed around her feet She found the stone to smash it under While the metal carved its name onto her skin This suffering child Gasping her last breath She'd broken off the shackles only to find she's caged Who'll cry for us Will no one ever know That the chemisty we hoped for was wrong History assures us that only God will ever know What it feels like to know what we've lost
