Contemplation (to The Fire)
Paulo Lisboa
Fire is perfect...
O grandiose and almighty Fire
Fire that burns the weak flesh of the mortals
The only torch able to guide me
Pathway to eternal life, immortality
I give myself to thee, o Fire
I kneel myself down at thy flames
I implore thee to light up this arduous path
Path towards eternal life
The contemplation has just begun
Speak to me, o Fire, and start to burn...
The Fire says: "Your bravery is admirable, man!
I'll raise my flames and illuminate the true way.
But if the great Vulcano rejects you,
You'll burn in my unholy flames"
Lead: Lisboa
I know, thou art eternal, the strongest!
Flames that burn the weak flesh of the mortals
That won't burn me anymore
'Cos now I will always walk beside thee
My realization is complete
I will never die...
