Fire

 

Fire, your desire

Hamstring your hate

 

Fire, blazing, take it higher

When you know, it's always too late

 

Fire, the torturer, the destroyer

The little demon in your heart

 

Fire, the tramp outside, in the foyer

Fire, wrong from the start.

 

Where is hades' fire, where are your hopes?

What remains of the childhood fantasies?

Struggle on welfare, the man, he copes

While his life is like his flat, filled with vacancies

 

An old lady stares out the window

Warmed by the fire in the hearth

As she falls asleep, a spark leads to fire

In the end, warmth always turns to cold.
