Create the Fire

A shock of heat
Bleeds me blind
A current electrified
Leaves me lined

I can't run from this place
Or escape from this wire
A thousand volts charge
And you create the fire

A focal flame
That sears me inside
A blaze is to blame
For my ultimate demise

Try to breathe while I burn
And devoured I conspire
Just to control the flow
As you ignite the fire 

Finger the flare
Or kindle the light
An energy is born
And is set in flight

Engulfed by the spark
Scorched by your desire
I grab hold of the embers
And explode in the fire
