Lyrics for Who Tends the Fire

Who tends the fire Who keeps the torches lit Who fills your eyes with smoke So you can't see I need the fire I need the torches lit To see through all the smoke Covering me I have seen the fires burning Burning through the night I have watched the tides a turning And they go from dark to light What is this meaning What does this writing mean Where do I go What do I do for now Prophecies are foolish They never last They never speak the truth So why are they calling me now I have seen the fires burning Burning through the night And I have watched the tides a turning And they go from dark to light I don't know cause I cannot see All I'm sure is I gotta be I'm not sure that I'm even me But I know that I gotta be You don't know that you're gonna die Birth, life, death, is the reason why Save those tears that you're gonna cry Cause I know that you're gonna die Yes I know that I cannot see And I'm sure that I gotta be All these voices are killin' me But they say that I got Say that I got Say that I gotta be me Who tends the fire Who keeps the torches lit Who fill your eyes with smoke So you can't see I need the fire I need the torches lit to see I have seen the fires burning They're burning through the night And I have watched the tide a turning Still the fire burning bright
