When I was young you told me not to touch the fire,
Or I would burn my fingers.
That was a long time ago and you failed to warn me,
That people have fire inside their souls as well,
And theirs is more enticing.
It is more dangerous,
Than a paltry candle flame will ever be.

When I was young you told me not to touch the fire,
Or I would burn my fingers.
That was a long time ago and you failed to warn me,
That people have fire inside their souls as well,
And theirs is more enticing.
It is more dangerous,
Than a paltry candle flame will ever be.
