Humanity craves a certain fire
Not for heat and light, but for company
To raise you when you fall, rally you when you tire
To brave life when it darkens so suddenly

A fire that can change, build, and create
New worlds, new stories, new lives
But flames burn and scath and raze and hate
They **** good sense, blind mankind, and wound like knives

A fire that can mend a heart, break a heart, steal a heart
When burning bright, souls are joyous
When smothered, souls are torn apart
With no fires burning, it is what destroys us
