Aching Ritual

We were walking on fire
Almost dancing with bare feet
We felt no pain, no heat
How beautiful
Refined and free

You were dancing with snakes in your hands
Put your head back, eyes rolled inwards
What on earth was I thinking?
Nothing's gonna hurt me

Now that my body's numb from pain
I could face Goliath without flinching
Throw me into the lion's den
And watch me
I'd still be on my feet
