It is summer now
And the eternal night
Is filled with the fire's light
Twisting and turning
The shadows dancing
As the logs keep burning
Pushing the darkness away
But no one knows
I'm the monster the flames
Can't keep at bay
.
Looking out in the night
I see the flies flickering life
Reaching out
I grab the flies fire light
Then rip off its wings
And watch As its light fades
And like my soul
Become darker than a starless night
.
How much longer I wonder
Glancing aside
Until my companions bleed out
next to the false safety
Of this fires light
