Two Fires Burning

[Intro] Low static in the chest; A press against pressure. The day grows weary Before it even begins. [Verse 1] Morning arrives divided, Paths split under practiced feet. Each feat spoken for as if complete. Burdens overburdened capacity; Obligation competes with obligation. Motivation under subgigation. Hands reach out by instinct; Effort offered in both directions, Expecting return of satisfaction. [Pre-Chorus] Two fires burning; Both consuming, While the self burns between them. [Verse 2] The Strain, The Pain that cannot be named. The madness of a man, Torn in half. Sworn in hand, The sacrifice of one for the other. A bother of burden under durress. Two masters, Master of none; the self relinquished. Never satisfied, belonging to both. [Pre-Chorus] Two fires burning; Both waning, While the self burns between them. [Chorus] Consigned to flames of woe, Rage in me; Set me free. Beneath the stars above, Under the Great Arc, Spanned across the sky. [Solo] [Breakdown] [Bridge] The fires died; First one, then the other. Cold and hardened, The silence heard, Then the silence silenced; Silver sends light and thunder. The self falters, then steadies beneath. A center core within, never remembered; never known. [Chorus] Consigned to flames of woe, Rage in me; Set me free. Beneath the stars above, Under the Great Arc, Spanned across the sky. [Outro] Rage in me; Great Fire, Rage in me. Bring me the flame; The light, The drink, Elixer of life.
