Firelight
Everything follows relativity
Good to evil, chaos to symmetry
Thus we must go up and down
Riding cycles round and round
No lines of tangent; we lounge in our lair
Sin's too rampant and we couldn't care
The brightest flames grow quickest yet we dwell in pilot light
Long gone are the days we raged against that night
Does anyone still desire romance? Can all of us live without fire?
Why not feel its burning presence and build yourself an empire?
We need to break these cycles soon
They crush dreams with each turn
Don't you want to embrace our doom?
Set your flame to make the world burn
All we have to do is ride each other's asses
Remove those rose glasses and address the masses
See the whole world, and wonder what to do
Live each moment powerfully and true
or
Keep resting when you aren't tired
And saying go without engine fired
Forget those moments you felt complete
Keep fearing every small defeat
It's impossible to do alone. I've learned it well
Actions are so hard to do with no one to tell
The next cycle spins and there's far less wins
Costs and losses fed by those spreading sins
I want to wholly change for the better
But without witness, I am no bar-setter
