I know this feeling will never extinguish
despite all I do to put it out
it will burn forever without a doubt
feeding the angst that I can’t relinquish
I wish the years will smooth the rocky trail
only the moonlight will show me the way
with unknown purpose in this world I stray
and find no solace in telling my tale
my destination lies on the horizon
no matter how far I travel I can’t reach it
dantesque punishment from the abysmal pit
I endure every day that I wizen
my every hope blown away into dust
gone with the wind it never returns
the more the hope fades the more it burns
and throws over my head a sky of rust
and the fire never dies out it never will
in the end what am I if not my burning fire
it can be blissful yet its hardships dire
making me long to rest under a hill
the fire burning in my chest
will burn until the day I die
it lights with life my empty eye
and to my ballads adds some zest
