the charcoal of fire


The charcoal of fire
The red hot line smoking high
The faithfuls gathered to witness it
Who dare to walk on fire?

The temple beats the drums
The faithfuls stand and watch
The priest in trance walks the fire
Brushing it with his legs

The amber of charcoal
The dust and smoke flicker
The people watch and glow
The eyes can't believe the scene

Now the challenge
Who dare to walk on fire?
Many dare not take it
Only a few dare to go

If you don't fast
If you have bad intentions
If your mind isn't pure
Better don't show your bravery

The walk on fire
I tried once before in my life
I didn't get burn on my legs
Maybe I was lucky that day
