Who Tends The Fire

Who tends the fire? Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fills your eyes with smoke, so you can't see?
I need the fire, I need the torches lit
To see through all the smoke covering me

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
I have watched the tides a turning
And they go from dark to light

What is this meaning? What does this writing mean?
Where do I go? What do I do for now?
Prophecies are foolish they never last, they never speak the truth
So why are they calling me now

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
And I have watched the tides a turning
And they go from dark to light

I don't know 'cause I cannot see
All I'm sure is gotta be
I'm not sure that I'm even me
But I know that I gotta be

Yes I know that you're gonna die
Birth, life, death, is the reason why
Save those fears that you're gonna cry
'Cause I know that you're gonna die

Yes I know I cannot see
And I'm sure that I gotta be
All these voices are killin' me
And they say that I got, say that I got
Say that I gotta be me

Who tends the fire? Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fill your eyes with smoke, so you can't see?
I need the fire, I need the torches lit to see

I have seen the fires burning
That burning through night
I have watched the tides a turning
Still the fire burning bright
