The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who tends the fire?
Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fills your eyes with smoke?
So you can't see
I need the fire
I need the torches lit
To see through all the smoke covering me
I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
I have watched, the tides a turning
And they go from dark to light
What is this meaning?
What does this writing mean?
Where do I go?
What do I do for now?
Propheces are foolish
They never last
They never speak the truth
So why are they calling me now?
I don't know, cause I cannot see
All I'm sure is gotta be
I'm not sure that I'm even me
But I know that I gotta be
Yes, I know that you're gonna die
Birth, life, death, is the reason why
Save those fears that you're gonna cry
Cause I know that you're gonna die
Yes, I know I cannot see
And I'm sure that I gotta be
All these voices are killin' me
But they say that I got
Say that I got
Say that I gotta be me
Who tends the fire?
Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fill your eyes with smoke?
So you can't see
I need the fire
I need the torches lit to see
