Fire and Ice

Sleeping in the flames and burning lies Somewhere in the ashes I hear the cries Was it me I saw in the fire? Or was it you falling down but getting higher? Sleeping in the ice and fading dreams I’m slipping out and then back in Is it true that I’m awake? Or in my dream was there a small mistake? Lifeless ashes served with ice Dreaming in a dream that has enticed Everything I lost is what I need Things I have I’ll throw away into the sea Lifeless hearts that cannot feel Standing in a place where they can heal Everything I took will never please Things I gave turned into autumn leaves I know I’ll give you your desire I only have to take a look within the fire The ashes left will let me know They are the things I lost within the snow
