The Fire that Burns - Borknagar

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
