Like a kindled fire it smokes Upon the wood it grows With no ventilation it chokes Turning thy friends to foes From thy tongue in thy cheek the flames doth crack With the empty words we billow Tears of sap seep with each fiery snap As we burn the weeping willow Withdraw the wood from thy furnace And if the charred remains ever smolder Then inward thy glare must turneth For these flames shall make thee ever colder

Tongue of Fire
Like a kindled fire it smokes Upon the wood it grows With no ventilation it chokes Turning thy friends to foes From thy tongue in thy cheek the flames doth crack With the empty words we billow Tears of sap seep with each fiery snap As we burn the weeping willow Withdraw the wood from thy furnace And if the charred remains ever smolder Then inward thy glare must turneth For these flames shall make thee ever colder
