Wildfire

The night was opened like a door swinging wide

With the rabid rage of a ritual sacrifice

Your pagan dreams can taste their irish blood

As you feel the ashes falling from above

You’re facing the danger knowing that you can’t move on

You feel like a stranger in the hometown haunts where you first killed God

Here in the dark, you can’t stop saying

You’re falling apart, it’s not worth waiting

Begins with a spark that’s taking you higher like wildfire

We’re back in the town they once called “Stranglehold”

And all the things you loved now leave you cold

A fragrant death adorns the midnight breeze

A creeping rot since they burned St. Augustine’s

The candle tips over, your vanity held to the flame

A rebirth of self worth in the far off places where they’ll paint your name

Here in the dark, you can’t stop saying

You’re falling apart, it’s not worth waiting

Begins with a spark that’s taking you higher like wildfire

At midnight, you lost sight, keep making all the same mistakes

You let go, you say so, & you keep on dancing till New Year’s Day

Here in the dark, you can’t stop saying

You’re falling apart, it’s not worth waiting

Begins with a spark that’s taking you higher like wildfire
