The Fire That Burns

(album: True North - 2019)

The fire that burns
The light that governs the heat
Igniting the passion, the eternal appetite
For things to come
For thoughts to create

The spark that glimmers
So that visions appear in a flash
Initiating the chain reaction
Culminating in the very fuel
That drives us on

The independent nature of man
A creator and destroyer
Deeply rooted, widely spread
The will to strive, the need to push
The fire that burns and devours

The relentless determination
The adventures of the mind
And the conquest of the flesh
Rise to the summit in perpetual motion

The will to thrive, the will to leap
Above the highest peak
The will to swim
Beneath the lowest deep
