Dar Williams - Blue Light Of The Flame lyrics

How did we lose this great wrath Everything burns in our path The balance we broke Left us running through smoke You're at the blue light of the flame As the earth melts at the poles I race to man the controls And I work harder, fiercer and smarter You're at the blue light of the flame So this is where it all led With the flowers by your bed And your friends come to you As the light turns to dark But the light shines through Yes when the hurricanes came We were the gods that we blamed We have orange-red fire We fear our desire You kneel at the blue light of the flame Out beyond rescue Somebody let you Look into the blue light of the flame
