Walk Through the Fire
Joss Whedon Lyrics

I touch the fire, and it freezes me
I am longing for something that can cause me danger.

I look into it, and it's black
But I am still attracted to it, and I can't help but want it.

Why can't I feel?
I am numb and don't know why.

My skin should crack and peel
I just want to feel something, even if it may harm me.

I want the fire back
I want to be able to feel again, to let my emotions be free.

Now, through the smoke, she calls to me
There is someone calling me from a dangerous place.

To make my way across the flame
They need me to save them.

To save the day
I have a purpose, a mission that I need to fulfill.

Or maybe melt away
But there is a chance I may sacrifice everything for that mission.

I guess it's all the same
But I will still go through with it, regardless of the outcome.

The torch I bear is scorching me
Even though I am helping someone, it is a painful process.

Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt
But I will still do it, even if it may hurt or betray me.

I hope she fries,
I even have thoughts of hurting or killing the one I'm helping.

I'm free if that bitch dies
I am somehow dependent on her, and I want to be free.

I better help her out
But I will still help her because that is who I am.

Drawn to the fire
Some people are attracted to danger, no matter the risk.

She will never learn
Even if someone is repeatedly hurt, they still gravitate to the dangerous thing/person.

Will this do a thing to change her?
I wonder if all this danger and pain will help her learn or change.

Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
I have another responsibility to consider.

Is my slayer too far gone to care?
Is the one I'm helping too far gone to have any sense of self-preservation?

What if Buffy can't defeat it?
What if everything we are doing won't result in success?

Beady eyes is right, we're needed
We need to keep going, even if it seems like a futile effort.

Or we could just sit around and glare
We could give up, but that's not who we are.

We'll
We will continue to stand by each other.

See it through
We will follow through with the mission.

It's what we're always here to do
It's in our nature to help and protect each other, even if it's difficult.

So we will
So we will still move forward.

So one by one, they turn from me
It's hard to keep people by your side in dangerous situations.

I guess my friends can't face the cold
Some people can't handle the fear and danger that comes with helping others.

What can't we face?
But we have to face these situations, even if they're difficult.

But while I froze,
Even if I feel frozen and scared.

Not one among them knows
But no one else knows the turmoil I feel inside.

And never can be told
Because it's something I have to deal with on my own.

She came from the grave much graver
Even if someone has come back from the dead or a difficult situation, they may still be hurt.

First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her
When people are hurt, they may want to hurt others in return.

Everything is turning out so dark
Even if everything seems to be going wrong, we still have to proceed.

Going through the motions
But sometimes, we may feel like we're just going through the motions without a purpose.

I think this line is mostly filler
But we still have to keep going, even if it seems pointless.

What's it going to take to strike a spark?
We need to find a way to break through the darkness and find hope.

It's what they have inside
Hope and determination come from within.

These endless days
Even if every day seems to be the same.

Are finally ending in a blaze
We can find a way to end the cycle of pain and danger.

Caught in the fire
Even though danger surrounds us.

The point of no return
We can't turn back now.

And let it burn
We can only move forward.

Let it burn
Let the flames of hope ignite.

Let it burn
And let us find a way to make it through.

And let it burn!
No matter what, we will continue to fight and move forward.
