Gaze into the fire's flames
See how hungrily they reach
Fire has power of its own
Feed it your pain, let it burn
And as the ashes drift away
Take back your life
It's yours today
Ashes to ashes, adrift on the wind
Release those bad memories
Feel free again
Nothing can change things that have been
But just like the phoenix
Arise from the ashes
Begin life again

I've been seduced by the trans of this flame.
Simply hypnotic.
