Burn with Me

The clock’s run out, we’ve reached the brink
We fiddled as our world crumbled beneath our feet
And wept when the heavens burned without mercy
Yet, beyond rhyme or reason, it spared the two of us
Left us standing. Floating. Falling together in the purified abyss
Only us and a lonely glow looming in the distance
We run to it, a beacon in the darkness
It’s Pandora’s sacred virtue
A dwindling gleam of hope that drives us forward
Seconds pass in ages, at last we reach it
A smoldering fire


You and I, we face the flames
We three impossible things at the edge of night
Sins and shadows cast far behind us
By divine instinct we know what we must do
I take your hands in mine and look you in the eyes
They glisten with fear and uncertainty

And the silver light of your shining soul
A perfect embrace before the plunge
Together we will burn

Glowing cinders dance like Beltane torches
Each spark destined to become a shining cosmic jewel
Wisps of flame spin threads of fate
And weave a tapestry of febrile dreams

We will bask in the splendor of fire
Like a Phoenix, resurrected from the ashes of death
Consummated by the same inferno that ravaged our worlds
Our immortal passion will create life anew

We will be coronated by flames
Wreathed and robed in illustrious scarlet
And adorned by crowns of golden dawn
Two hearts ablaze in eternal glory

Burn with me?
