Her or fire

Her or fire

­­­­­-­)))-(((-

He dances in the fiery breath

He twists and turns and leaps

Flowers and tongues of flames blossom

Enticing him with death.

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

The raw fear, the pure danger

Is all the fire dancer needs

He touches the fire, lovingly

Feels the flames seethe

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

Fire embraces him, as its own

It will never let him go

Watchers see nothing of his love

In his humble show

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

To them he is a magician

To have conquered flame

They do not know, that he and fire are equals

In their dangerous game

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

The flames lick him tenderly

Like a mother with her child

He is the true apprentice

The only one so wild

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

That fire itself will take him

Fire will bind him tight

But he loves it so deeply

He will not put up a fight

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

And he chose to fall forever more

Into his love of flame

It was fire he told himself

Fire for whom he came

Her or fire, fire or her

To love and lie, or go and burn

And not the woman Roxanne

The one who loved him most

He had made the terrible choice

Fire would be his host

Her or fire, fire or her,

He made his choice, he will go and burn
