Io, Beautiful and Wild

[Verse 1] Golden rivers crawl beneath the haze Crimson mountains catch the dying rays Yellow clouds are drifting through the night Molten scars are glowing soft and bright The ground is breathing underneath my feet Every distant tremor moves with the heat Colors melt and disappear in waves Fire blooms across the fields it makes [Chorus] Io, burn your colors through the night Red and gold beneath the giant light Let me drift where all the shadows glow Where the rivers of fire slowly flow Io, beautiful and wild Like a fevered dream from another time I could stare into your burning sky And forget the world, and forget why [Verse 2] Volcanoes rise like flowers made of flame Painting silver clouds with tongues of red Mountains turn to gold beneath the stars Blackened valleys shining from afar Jupiter hangs above the amber mist A silent giant wrapped in endless bliss And every time the surface starts to shake Another glowing river wakes [Chorus] Io, burn your colors through the night Red and gold beneath the giant light Let me drift where all the shadows glow Where the rivers of fire slowly flow Io, beautiful and wild Like a fevered dream from another time I could stare into your burning sky And forget the world, and forget why [Bridge] The sky turns violet The mountains breathe gold The stars start melting The night loses hold I close my eyes But I still see the flame Everything changes Nothing stays the same [Outro] Golden smoke across the endless blue A thousand shades of red come shining through No quiet ocean, no frozen shore Just endless fire forevermore Io… Beautiful burning world. Io… I could watch you forever.
