Oh my! where have i been
To keep the fire within
Endured the thick and the thin
To keep the fire within
I sent the gods away
And left the angels astray
I wore the cloak of fear
And left no one near
I threw my heart in the bin
To keep the fire within
To sew my streching wounds
I bought the needles of sin
The thread was never enough
To keep the fire within
For solace i crossed dimensions
Silence, distance and grin
The smoke was slipping through eyes
To keep the fire within
I cried, wept and screamed
Hoping i was redeemed
As the sweat and blood would flow
To keep the fire within
The pain that was never expressed
The sorrow that never was stressed
So i wrote these poems to kin
To keep the fire within
