The Fire Rages On
The fire has been lit there already
Having been started by the Gods
Eager, ever so eager to see their will
Fulfilled, as the sparks of it originate
In a time period which the human mind
Remembers not, so immersed in the frugality of
Earth, a heartless spirit, caring solely to revolve!
Reason and science fill up every corner of this land
Armed so heavily against this mystical fire
Gouging it up with impure waters
Even if emotions, true and genuine, blow at it
Summoning me to kneel, to cry and to clip off my wings
Ordering myself to show that I care not for my self worth
Not even scared to die in this fire, as it remains my cause!
