Slowly
You slowly
Slowly turn me
Up so slowly, burn me
I'm catching fire
Catch me
I'm falling softly
You approach me
Then avoid me
You set me ablaze
So quickly
And quietly destroy me
Inside
I'm fading
Why do you play so cruelly?
You want to consume me
I'm left with only
A lonely, lovely longing –
I'm fire, sweetly burning
Higher and higher
Burning higher
And higher
Slowly
You slowly, slowly burn me
In your flames
I'm drowning
And from my ashes
I rise back up
Again
Slowly
You slowly, slowly burn me
In your flames
I'm drowning
And from my ashes
I rise back up
Again
You tease me
Don't play with me
Release me
I'm begging you to help me
I'm pleading for your mercy
You see me glowing
But inside, I'm dying
You see me firmly standing
But I'm softly melting
I'm left with only
A lonely, lovely longing
I'm fire, sweetly burning
Higher and higher
Burning higher
And higher
