Lyrics
In the space between thought and wonder
Memory cannot pull you under
In the moment between breath and dying
You’re free, fearless, you’re flying
It’s a new age, gotta make it up as you go
It’s all the rage, gotta take it all in tow
You can’t be living by the shreds of
what you think you’re owed
Sage advice or sensory overload
Whatever the pressure
However your pleasure holds you
Captive to the treasure
No matter how the earth reverberates
You’re dancing with the greats
With the fools and their fates
For time it never waits
Crash the gates firedancer, flame of life
What remains is a gamble, fall or fly
Play your ace, and remember there’s a why
You should always question the answer
Are you ready for your life to be laid bare
Are you sure about the proof by which you swear
All the same, life’s a game for name untarnished
By someone else’s fear
Whatever they offer
However your wishes beckon
Harder than you reckon
But fire doesn’t dance to their dictates
And now you’re dancing with the greats
Let the fools have their fates
For time it never waits
Crash the gates firedancer, flame of life…
We should always question the answer
