[Verse] The moon’s a spy it winks at me A thousand eyes in the old oak tree The wind hums low a cryptic tune Shadows dancing with the moon [Chorus] Whispers in the flame Calling out my name Are they real or just a game Whispers in the flame [Verse 2] A serpent coils around my thought Truth is sold and lies are bought The river bends like a crooked spine I sip the stars like bitter wine [Prechorus] The fire speaks it breathes it grows A secret language only it knows [Chorus] Whispers in the flame Calling out my name Are they real or just a game Whispers in the flame [Bridge] Footsteps fall but no one’s near The night’s alive it tastes like fear Echoes laugh inside my head Am I alive or am I dead
