"Dark Fire"

/ Am - G - / - - Am - /

The fire knows your name
The fire knows this game
The fire tells you in your heart
That you are both the same

And I am sitting here waiting for you.
Birth-twin, brother, fire-fallen
You build a ladder to the sun
And now the sun is inside you.

	/: F G Am - / G - Am - :/

	And all I can do is sink my fingers in
	Waiting for the phoenix changes to begin
	You are infected with the language of the sun
	We pull the burning thorns from underneath your skin

And you change. You've always changed,
The sun is just a part of who you are
And you change, for life is change
And the pain is just a part of who you are.

	And you made a hundred patterns but those patterns burnt you down
	You bled a thousand comet trails before you hit the ground
	And those comets are in all of us, inside our eyes like sand
	The heat of your blaze melting them, so we could understand

	Looking through the lens you gave us, at the blazon on your brow
	There are just a thousand questions, start with "what do we do now?"
	Do we try to look inside you for the fire that is gone
	When any bit of ember might be waiting to go on?

And I am sitting here waiting for you.
Birth-twin, brother, fire-fallen
You build a ladder to the sun
And now the sun is inside you.

And you change. You've always changed,
The sun is just a part of who you are
And you change, for life is change
And the pain is just a part of who you are.

The fire knows your name
The fire knows this game
The fire tells you in your heart
That you are both the same
