Dance Afire Anthem

from Ignition: Arson Anthems by Manko

/

about

Our firedance troupe needed an anthem, so here it is.

lyrics

My friend Prometheus was sayin'
We could steal fire from the gods
And now Prometheus is payin', but down here we are playin'
Stayin', sayin' "Yes! We like those odds!"

We'll dance afire, driven by desire, preaching to the choir
Reaching to the light
And if they inquire why we're so inspired
Should we simply sigh or lie or try and dance a fire tonight?

If it's better to light a candle
Than curse the darkness all around
Than better still to be a vandal
A burning firebrand in hand, I'll stand and
Burn the darkness down!

And if they ask us if ever we get burned...
Of course we do! And so do you!
But we've returned with lessons we have learned
Consumed but not especially concerned!
