In the dark
there is a flame
Give it life
or let it dim, yeah
Death may come
to those who wait
But death is here
For those that hate
Flip the switch
Turn it on.
Light the fire inside your head
I’ll give you wisdom
Light the fire inside your brain
Open your mind
Light the fire under your soul
I’ll make you holy
Caught in the arc of the flame
In the light
There is a shadow
The blackened seeds
Of your tomorrows, yeah
You may choose
To shut your eyes
In the end you lose
Don’t you realize
Life is short?
Death is eternal.
Light the fire inside your head
I’ll give you wisdom
Light the fire inside your brain
Open your mind
Light the fire under your soul
I’ll make you holy
Caught in the arc of the flame
The seed is sown
The bird has flown
The pain’s your own
Now you’re all alone
Come with me
I’ll set you free
If you’re caught
In the arc of the flame
