Bonfire (A Rest)

I felt my bones shiver\nAcross rifts of time\nI saw ghosts in the mist\nAnd their faces like mine\nThen I looked to the footsteps\nAnd gazed on a sign\nThat said «call my name\nI’ll join in the fight»\nBroken and withered\nWe will rise again\nMy brothers and sisters\nIn death we are friends\nIncandescent together\nA slow fading light\nThe efforts cascading\nOur time is tonight\nFractured and feeble\nOrdinary people\nPutting resolve to the test\nNobody chose to be risen\nBut new life is given\nWhen we light a bonfire to rest\nOld friends and rivals\nWe sit by the flame\nTo share in the moment\nBefore we can claim\nOur own destiny’s purpose\nIn each of our homes\nWe’ve all got our battles\nBut no one’s alone\nNameless and searching\nThe light keeps us warm\nIn need and in danger\nIt guides through the storm\nAs we share in a question\nWill we meet again\nTo sing by the embers\nAnd brace for the end\nFractured and feeble\nOrdinary people\nPutting resolve to the test\nNobody chose to be risen\nBut new life is given\nWhen we light a bonfire to rest\nUndying forever\nThrough war and dark weather\nBinding to search for a light\nSome lit by grace or by embers\nWe’re searching together\nStarved for that break from the fight\nSwords losing sharpness\nTo angels and darkness\nThese soldiers push on through the mire\nNow we’re all faced with the ending\nThe burn before mending\nA vision to let there be fire\nFractured and feeble\nOrdinary people\nPutting resolve to the test\nNobody chose to be risen\nBut new life is given\nWhen we light a bonfire to rest
