FIRE & GOLD

When I behold a spire
in the moonlight, black and bold,
my heart is dark with fire
and I wear a chain of gold.

This dominant desire
is a dream both young and old,
my heart is dark with fire
and I wear a chain of gold.

In you I praise this higher
power – unto you I’m sold;
my heart is dark with fire
as I bear your chain of gold.

Some legends we admire,
others wait to be foretold.
Together we find fire
in our lives of molten gold.
