Flames
From fire to fire, from candle to flame; From moment of pride to hour of shame. Picture of progress, then primitive declaim -- Wear the pride like a banner, then dishonor the name. We step toward tomorrow, then back to yesterday, Wake to the future, sleep to violent affray. Strut like a champion, then hide away -- Dreamer awaken, then dreams decay From hero to blackguard in a single day. Burn to the stars, and burn cities below -- Flames of vision, then light in skid row. The moments between are what we know -- A path and a choice: Which way should we go? I choose the vision, the dream, the star -- I walk to the future and travel far. The future, the path, my dream and lodestar. Join me, dreamer, stronger we are.
