Help me revive my feelings inside the urn,
So that I can help you decide which bridge to cross and which to burn,
I'll stand by you whenever, whatever, wherever,
Let's overpower the impediments to our journey of forever.

I will be willing to be your fire, let me light your way in your darkest nights,
You will not sleep upset because of petty fights,
I'll kiss and hug your fears goodbye,
For I am fire, your guiding light, I love you without an alibi.

I'll let you be my ice that calms the sparks and blazes inside of me,
Devour me inch by inch, my wild fires are yours to be,
Help me collide my body with yours,
Let's tame the dragons with our joined force.

You surely keep me from burning myself alive,
With you by my side, everything I can survive,
You're my ice, my consolation in disappointment,
When I'm with you, every second is a magical moment.
When I was a child, I was afraid
Of that creature a “spider” they said
Its many legs were like ready to clutch
Its creepy mouth seems like ready to catch

Look at the eyes which are hard to read
Don’t know where they are going me to lead
Is it to the net which for it is a dwelling?
But a slaughterhouse for any sloppy being?

While the snared dying prey helplessly shook
It drains its flesh & fluids! Look!
What if I’m the one it’s gonna eat?
Oh how I tremble at the thought of it!

Good if the catch is a virulent criminal
Or any pest that’s violent & lethal
This agent of horror can be like a police
What if there are no spiders or neutralizers of society’s disease?
