The Faces of the Fire
(Verse 1) The journey started with a stolen box and weary bones, An ancient traveler leaving behind the silver domes. From gentle grandfather to a cosmic, laughing clown, With velvet coats and scarves that tumbled all the way down. A fiery spirit waking up beneath a stormy sky, We change our outer shells, but the traveler never dies. (Chorus) Oh, let the golden energy ignite! A brand new face stepping into the light! From every era, every changing view, The heart beats on, forever born anew! Though bodies fade and seasons have to pass, The traveler remains, the stars will last! (Verse 2) Then came the restless dandy with a sword and ruffled sleeve, A cosmic rebel forced to run, compelled to fight and leave. Followed by the questioner in primary-colored shock, A stick of celery pinned fast against a ticking clock. And then the darker shadow in a coat of crimson hue, A tragic regeneration leading straight to something new. (Chorus) Oh, let the golden energy ignite! A brand new face stepping into the light! From every era, every changing view, The heart beats on, forever born anew! Though bodies fade and seasons have to pass, The traveler remains, the stars will last! (Verse 3) The leather jacket weathered down the remnants of the past, A sudden, breathless panic as the final dice was cast. Then cracked into the neon glow of romance and despair, A man with heavy burdens and a gentle heart laid bare. And after him, the tweed and bow tie sprinting through the dark, A frantic, brilliant madman leaving history his mark. (Verse 4) The soldier stepped out from the smoke with silver in his hair, A heavy weight upon his soul of battles fought elsewhere. Then shifted to the brightest grace, with kindness in her eye, A doctor wearing sunshine underneath an open sky. And back into the old familiar face to face the end, Before the golden energy began to spin and bend. (Chorus) Oh, let the golden energy ignite! A brand new face stepping into the light! From every era, every changing view, The heart beats on, forever born anew! Though bodies fade and seasons have to pass, The traveler remains, the stars will last! (Verse 5) Fourteen and fifteen step across the shifting tides of time, With timeless children hiding in a nursery rhyme. Though faces fade and crumble like a sandcastle on the shore, The promise stays unbroken down the road forevermore. We change our names, our bodies, and the clothes upon our chest, But underneath the heartbeat, it's the traveler and the quest.
