The Fire Game (v2)

Lyrics

Seatbelt strapped, a second skin
The capsule groans, it's deep within
A tremor starts, a distant sound
The giants wake beneath the ground
My gloved hand finds the panel's edge
A quiet prayer, a silent pledge
The count goes low, a final pause
Then fire breathes, defying love
Oh, the shaking, the shaking, the world's just a blur
But my eyes are fixed on what it will infer
Every fault, every joy, screaming me out
This is the climb, the fire game
My helmet rattles around my head
The gravity, a heavy bed
Each boner drum, a frantic beat
From strapped down boots to trembling feet
The suit itself, a breathing thing
With every roar, it starts to sing
They said the odds, the narrow way
A tiny speck, a brighter day
Beyond this rumble, past the flame
A silent promise whispers my name
The stars await, a silver thread
And all the doubt I ever dread
Is just more few, for this ascent
Every tremor, heaven sent
Oh, the shaking, the shaking, the world's just a blur
But my eyes are fixed on what it will infer
Every fault, every joy, screaming me out
It's mine, this is the climb, the fire game
This is the climb, the, the fire game
