The fire engulfed my hand, above the light,
Knowing that nothing can hurt me anymore.
My heart has burned, perished in the fight;
Now I see my life is nothing but a chore.
Ups and downs had never made the wrong seem right,
So I’ll not continue in this dull, harsh life.
And if I seek a quiet path with no light,
I’ll wonder if I’ll ever be freed from this great strife.
The world forever spins with no true end,
But we search for ways to flee, all in vain,
And I will ask, ‘What’s left for me to fend,
When love is lost and heaven feels our pain?’
