She Dips Her Finger through the Candle Flame

She Dips Her Finger through the Candle Flame
Lyrics:

"Do or die!", echoes the sermon on high...
No safety in natures call
She Dips her finger through the candle flame
And dances when the moon is full

Pleasure's a poison when you chase it down,
like a hunter in pursuit of prey
Let her arrive on her own accord,
and let some joy fill the empty ache

The old prophet longs to feel like a child,
so that God might be reborn in him
Know your hell, but do you know your devil?
Does he frown, or does she sway with a grin, asking to be let in

The philosopher's stone is hard to acquire,
and ambiguity can leave one cold
Slowly I turn this blackened mire into alchemy's shining gold
