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



(chorus)

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?

Prophecies are foolish

They never last

They never speak the truth

So why are they calling me now?



(chorus)



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 tears 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



(chorus)
