Midnight midsummer

Sun won't leave the sky

Here's a fire for the burning

A light to lead the turning

The turning of the sun

Down the season's slide

The burning of the sun

That keeps us all alive

The turning of the sun

Down the season's slide

Toward the harvesting of grain

And the long white time

Midsummer fires burn

In my heart

Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires burn

In my heart

Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer

Flames scrape through the sky

Watch them catch

On the horizon

Watch them rise

Higher and wilder

In the shadows

Of the flickering folds

The embers fill the dusk

With their rust and gold

In the shadows

Of the flickering folds

Forge a purified world

Out of the old

Midsummer fires burn

In my heart

Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires burn

In my heart

Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer

Sun won't leave the sky

Here's a fire for the burning

A light to lead the turning…

Stakes and twigs

And garlands green

Midsummer fires burn

Birch and blossom

Moss and leaves

Midsummer fires burn

Copper coins

Old boats and barrels

Midsummer fires burn

Climb right up the

Witch's ladder

Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires

Midsummer fires

Midsummer fires burn

Build it up

With bricks and beams

Midsummer fires burn

Douse it all

With gasoline

Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires

Midsummer fires

Midsummer fires burn

Keep feeding me

Keep feeding me

Till all I can see

It's all I can see
