Lyrics

After the Fire
(Tummo)
 “The intensity of desire can only be liberated by desire itself.” - Judith Simmer Brown, Dakini’s Warm Breath
lyrics and music by Willow Pearson
After the fire has burned right through
After my desire has been met by you
My body she lays still and my mind she takes flight
And travels to another world where my spirit flies
Burn, burn me completely
Burn, burn me right through
Purify, purify my intention
Break this illusion
So I can burn bright
So I can burn bright
Yes I have been thirsty and hungry for your love
But it does not follow me to the places I dream of
And yet it is by your hand, your heart that I know
This passion that dwells within the rhythm of my soul
Burn, burn me completely
Burn, burn me right through
Purify, purify my intention
Break this illusion
So I can burn bright
So I can burn bright
Burn me down, til nothing remains
Burn me through, and extinguish the flames
Nothing to hold onto, nothing to grasp
Burn me down to that one flame that lasts…
If I were to stay here now, I would not be true
To the spirit dancer underground, who’s handing me my shoes
You have been the bridge between, a bridge I’ll never burn
The same one I must cross over now, to the lessons I must learn
Burn, burn me completely
Burn, burn me right through
Purify, purify my intention
Break this illusion
So I can burn bright
So I can burn bright
After the fire, after the fire
 burn me down, til nothing remains
burn me down, extinguish the flame
Nothing to hold onto
Nothing to grasp
Burn me down
To that one flame that lasts
After the fire…
After the fire…
