(Verse 2)
He struck a match and raised the flame to drive the shapes away,
The creatures shrank before it and retreated from the ray.
But fire caught the drywood and began to climb the trees,
Then leapt from branch to branch upon the rising midnight breeze.

(Chorus)
The forest burned around them as the darkness turned to red,
While Morlocks closed behind them and the flames rose overhead.
He fought with iron and with fire beneath the blazing sky,
As smoke and terror filled the woods and sparks went racing by.

(Verse 3)
He swung the iron bar at shapes that lunged from out the night,
And every sudden blow was framed within the firelight.
The Morlocks fled the burning where the heat became too great,
Yet others pressed around him with the patience born of hate.

(Verse 4)
The flames became a wall of heat that thundered through the wood,
And nothing in its pathway seemed capable to have stood.
The fire he meant for safety now consumed the forest floor,
A weapon turned to chaos he could not command any more.

(Bridge)
The Traveller fought blindly through the choking heat and flame,
While shadows rushed around him and the night forgot its name.
The woods became an inferno where the hunted hunted back,
And every path to safety disappeared beneath the black.

(Outro)
The fire rolled behind him as he staggered from the blaze,
While dawn began to gather through the smoke and ashen haze.
The forest lay in ruin where the flames had carved their scar,
And night had shown how fragile all his human weapons are.

(Verse 1) The Traveller led Weena through the forest black and deep, While branches closed above them and the shadows would not sleep. Then pale hands moved around them where the moonlight failed to shine, And Morlocks pressed more closely through the darkness of the pine. (Verse 2) He struck a match and raised the flame to drive the shapes away, The creatures shrank before it and retreated from the ray. But fire caught the drywood and began to climb the trees, Then leapt from branch to branch upon the rising midnight breeze. (Chorus) The forest burned around them as the darkness turned to red, While Morlocks closed behind them and the flames rose overhead. He fought with iron and with fire beneath the blazing sky, As smoke and terror filled the woods and sparks went racing by.
