Fire in the Same Void

[intro male Gregorian chorus] [spoken-word] I walk again where the same dark opens wide, With glacial wind like winter at my side, The stars hang low like lanterns gone to rust, And every road dissolves beneath the dust. I strike the match I struck a thousand times, And watch it bloom beneath the frozen pines, A little fire for a wandering mind, A fading warmth against the endless night. [Pre-Chorus] Again, again, I hear it start, That hollow place inside my heart, Through the haze of every doubt and fear, A distant voice is pulling near. [Chorus] Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name The same dark opens, still I stay A spark can turn the night to day Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name [spoken-word] Again, again, beneath that frozen sky, I feed the flame and let the old self die, For somewhere in the smoke, though hard to see, The void becomes a road back home to me. The fire burns the years from what I was, It ages thought like rivers wear the stone, Yet in its glow I find a quiet shore, A fragile peace I could not find before. [Pre-Chorus] The morning waits beyond the fields of gray, But night keeps pulling all my dreams away, So I keep one ember in my hand, A little map through ruined land. [Chorus] Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name The same dark opens, still I stay A spark can turn the night to day Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name [spoken-word] I used to fear the empty air, Like nothing good could live there, Now I know the open wound Can be a door, can be a room I kneel inside the drifting smoke, And let it teach what I forgot [Final Chorus] Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name The same dark opens, still I stay A spark can turn the night to day Again, again, I feed the flame Again, again, I call my name The void becomes a road tonight And I walk home by firelight
