I knew my spirit could not take me higher
And yet I burned when I embraced your light
That’s when I gave my heart up to the fire

For in your depth was all that I require
And in that moment, as with second sight
I knew my spirit could not take me higher

I never understood about desire
Until I saw you were both dark and bright
That’s when I gave my heart up to the fire

And when our souls ignited on that pyre
I rose up like a phoenix; reached for flight -
I knew my spirit could not take me higher

I should have known that cruel fate would conspire
To take you from the arms of your true knight
That’s when I gave my heart up to the fire

I never understood about desire
Until you left me nothing but the night
I knew my spirit could not take me higher
That’s when I gave my heart up to the fire
