To Carry The Flame Lyrics

Under the dirt down to the stone down where the ants and worms call home there is the place where we began replaced the clay with a foreign sand to carry the flame up through the earth to harness the fire inside the hearth into the air
see the embers fly the fiery ashes burning out in the sky smoke fills the air its in everything
they smell the wild blaze as the cinders sing to carry the flame up through the earth
to harness the fire inside the hearth "higher higher burning fire making music like a choir" burn the follies of my youth all my vices and untruths
the bricks glow red on into the night we'll watch it burning til the morning light
