Song number 3 of The Traveller Among The Lost (see the previous few entries if that means nothing to you). This part was originally going to be entitled "Steel", but I changed it partly to fit in with the scheme of starting each title with "The", and also partly because the new title is a bit of a private joke.
If you've read all 3 parts that I've posted so far and have absolutely no idea how this all connects as one big story then don't worry, it's not supposed to be obvious ... more open to your own individual interpretation. It does tie together a bit more with the 4th and 5th songs though

The Proverbial Fire - August - December 2006
What is it that I desire
As I fall into the …. ?
Last night was made of fire
Hot as hell, cool as ice
Dancing, flames rise higher and higher
Soul is burning in your eyes
Today I’ve turned to steel
Bend me, shape me as you will
Brand some meaning on my life
Give it form again tonight
From spark in time comes heat …
In your flames I’m set alight
In your flames I come alive
Flames licking at my tongue
Steel in fire, two are one
From heat in time comes warmth …
In your flames I’m set alight
In your flames I come alive
Heat melts me, changing shape
Tonight’s a furnace, I’m born again
They say “Play in the fire
And you’ll only get burned”
But I may take the heat
And be safely returned
They say “The flames will diminish
And leave you so cold”
But what if we can form something new
Change steel into gold?
What is it that I desire
As I fall into the fire?
Warmth in time turns cold …
In your flames I’m set alight
In your flames I come alive
Heat melts me, changing shape
Tonight’s a furnace, I’m born again
Goodbye to pieces past
Tonight’s a furnace, I’m recast
Extinguish
Extinguish
Extinguish
But embers never die
