To The Fire Wind
Starcastle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the splitting of the sun,
Suddenly beckoning these to come
Melting all the senses numb
Sensibilities defiled,
Vulcanous creatures delight, burn wild
Tearing at the Fire Child

Lost in time
Shattering the mirror's new design
Broken colors falling through the line
Scattered faces unto the night

In the impulse of delight
Those remaining will catch the sight
Eager to renew their flight
With the dawning of the child




Vulcanous creatures return, burn wild
Glowing with the Fire Child

The Vulcanous creatures return once again but this time they are glowing, which is indicative of the transformative powers of fire.
