Come dance with the fires In a daydream of youth When wild like the rivers When tall as the mountains Inverted world of thoughts inside Where tragedies born flowers and joy Death spreads only life When you laugh you really cry Man out of time is lost within his echoes Call the winds that guide to push him onwards See him through his end Walk with ease through decadence Burn a wormhole to this heart Sent to the end of the stars (Burning of the Velvet Fires) (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The burning of the velvet fires (Burning of the Velvet Fires) In a distant time unknown (Burning of the Velvet Fires) Now piercing through your thoughts (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The innocence once left behind (Burning of the Velvet Fires) And there he runs On a burning velvet field (I suppose that at one time or another when you stood outside,) (And looked up in wonder at the night sky) (And the endless panorama of the stars) (We've landed men on the moon) (And we've sent space rockets to circle Mars) (But as we learn more about the universe) (We learn how little we really know) Threw him through the wall Send him spinning into the universe Where ends the man where he began May the truth be eclipsed no more There we run On a burning velvet field The burning of the velvet fires (Burning of the Velvet Fires) In a distant time unknown (Burning of the Velvet Fires) Now piercing through your thoughts (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The innocence once left behind (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The burning of the velvet fires(Burning of the Velvet Fires) In a distant time unknown (Burning of the Velvet Fires) Now piercing through your thoughts (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The innocence once left behind (Burning of the Velvet Fires) The burning of the velvet fires In the house of your soul they exist Burning through all these years May they keep on burning forever more There we run On a burning velvet field Escaping thus the death of dreams
