Lyrics:

the mystery of a burning fire
a single life upon a pyre
you must look close to see it right
from the start, from the start

a sudden flash along a wire
begins the life upon the pyre
and if you're quick you'll catch a glimpse
of the start, of the start

and with a burst of violet blue
the spell came slowly over you
you could not peel your eyes away
from the flame, from the flame

and as the fire grows and grows
you feel as if the fire knows
your fascination, joy, and fear
for the flame, for the flame

you see now
but how this cold truth
this great fire
will go out, will go out

a sudden flash and you're alone
as if the earth were all your own
you're left with mystery in your mind
the mystery of a burning fire
