Refiner's Fire

This is the silence before a bursting out of life.

Calling all around,

gather all around.

I’m watching the calm

of nothing at all,

now we burn so bright.

Leading black then white,

follows day and night

Gravitational force,

an orbital course

and a molten sea

flowing up and down,

forming shape and sound.

While in the darkness, as in light,

you’ll find every

colour

waiting.

Funny how we find ourselves alive

with only two promises,

to be here

and die.

See how merely words seem to confine?

Try to find the feeling that brought you here

tonight.

Now here is a man,

he fucks and he stands

and he tries so hard,

to watch it all fall down,

yet coming back around.

He’s checkin’ it out.

He screams and he shouts

with the stars above

he measures short and long,

weighing right and wrong.

While in the darkness, as in light,

you’ll find every-

body

waiting.

Funny how we always seem to lie

when it’s coming down to how we are here

and why.

See how merely thoughts seem to confine?

Just try to find the feeling that brought you here

tonight.

Funny how we find ourselves alive

with only two promises ,

to be here

and die.

See how merely words seem to confine?

Just try to find the feeling that brought you here

tonight.

This is the silence before we’re bursting back to light.
