You seem afraid,
You seem afraid.
You seem afraid
To join the dark and deadly everything parade.
I told the wolf, "I'm just an ordinary man."
But, when my fire went out, he bit me on the hand
And dragged me down into the waves,
Where the shadows of the graves
Left a trace of lonely moonlight on the sand.

I see a fire.
I see a fire
In the sky.
I know the meaning of it even as I die.
And, while I'm twisting here, beneath the roiling sea
The creature turns its foul attention back to me.
And the flashing of his eyes,
And his teeth so white and snarling
Are the last things I remember of that place.

I am afraid,
I am afraid.
I am afraid
To see the beauty of the things that I have made.
And, though it seems the dreams I have are just a lie,
An ordinary man I am, and I must try.
And as I'm sinking to the darkness,
And as I'm swept out to sea,
Well now, my darkest hour has come and I must die.
