Who tends the fire
who keeps the torches lit
who fills your eyes with smoke
so you can't see
i need the fire
i need the torches lit
to see through all the smoke covering me
I have seen the fires burning
burning through the night
i have watched the tides a turning
and they go from dark to light
What is this meaning
what does this writing mean
where do i go
what do i do for now
propheces are foolish
they never last
they never speak the truth
so why are they calling me now.
I don't know cause i cannot see
all i'm sure is gotta be
i'm not sure that i'm even me
but i know that i gotta be
yes i know that you're gonna die.
birth, life, death, is the reason why
save those fears that you're gonna cry.
cause i know that you're gonna die
yes i know i cannot see
and i'm sure that i gotta be
all these voices are killin' me
but they say that i got
say that i got
say that i gotta be me.
Who tends the fire
who keeps the torches lit
who fill your eyes with smoke
so you can't see
i need the fire
i need the torches lit to see
