Come Holy Ancient Fire
Burn with a song of love today
Sift through the mud and mire
Come fill your earthen pot of clay
Word is the sheriff's coming
Word is He's coming with the Day
I heard the river running
I think the dam's about to break
Come all you sons and daughters
Give up your list of past mistakes
Jump in the muddy water
Bring all your science and your faith
Time says he's got the answers
But time only seems to make me wait
With visions of foreign grandeur
But I think forever starts today
I wanna step outside the borderline
Shed the coat and tear the blinds away
Where there is territory to be won
There will be war under the sun to wage
But wherever you go clothe yourself in love
Vapor by day. Flame in the night we go.
Tonight we go.
Come have your way.
Come warm the air when the night is cold
When the dark takes hold
When your love feels a world
Away
