Dance Near the Flame

Written by Axel Thornton
Inspired by a true encounter

A storm raging, deep inside.
Fears overwhelm, they say to hide.
Giving in, a soul departs.
Sorrow in the heart of hearts.

Dare to dance, dance near the flame.
The fire ignites the light within
Let go, be free, it's why you came.
Dance near the flame.
Dare to live, live near the fight.
The battle raging serves to inspire.
Let go, be free, with wings take flight.
Dance near the flame.

Like a mist, insecurities,
Rising from the depths of seas.
Swords of dread cut the flesh,
A biting rain will soothe, refresh.

Dare to dance, dance near the flame.
The fire ignites the light within
Let go, be free, it's why you came.
Dance near the flame.
Dare to live, live near the fight.
The battle raging serves to inspire.
Let go, be free, with wings take flight.
Dance near the flame.

Hearts never die, though shells remain.
Light flickers hope, though it's denied.
Pain revealed, it hides the truth of love.
Release the heart. Take the dare.

Dare to dance, dance near the flame.
The fire ignites the light within
Let go, be free, it's why you came.
Dance near the flame.
Dare to live, live near the fight.
The battle raging serves to inspire.
Let go, be free, with wings take flight.
Dance near the flame.
