Pale Fire

As seasons change
I remain
A boy in ice
Another flame
Of my youth
It burns inside
The embers stay

A stale glow through the fine mist of time
Awaiting for
A gentle wind to whisper through and ignite

This pale fire
This pale fire

The pale fire

The pale fire
The pale fire
An ancient glow of dim desire
The pale fire
Comes to flicker behind my glazed eyes
The pale fire
Has been yearning only to burn bright
For some time

Let me remain
Engulfed in flames
And light this gloom
A human torch
A phosphorescent heart
In this dark room

And as the heat
Rises within me
I know the time is soon
A wry smile
Appears upon my face
As I am consumed

By this pale fire
The pale fire
The pale fire
The pale fire
The pale fire
An ancient glow of dim desire
The pale fire
Comes to flicker behind my glazed eyes

The pale fire
Has been yearning only to burn bright
For some time
