Kiss the Flame

by Jewel Kilcher

Please love let's make
No impartial vow
Let all fall away
That's not crucial now
I want a brave love
One that makes me
Weak in the knees
I want a crazy, crazy love
One that makes me
Come undone at the seams

Cause I'm tired
Of all these Pilgrims
These Puritans, these thieves
Of all the unbelievers
Who whittle love
Down at the knees
Let these swift roads
Destroy themselves
Let the world fall into it's sleep
For we shall be spared
We shall be left standing
To face what's left
Of concrete and honey

Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted
The untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless
The unnamed
Kiss the flame

There are nightmares
On the sidewalks
There are jokes on TV
They are people
Selling thoughtlessness
With such casualty
Oh, wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Where have all the brave men gone?
Show me one man
Who knows his own heart
To him I shall belong

Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted
The untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless
The unnamed
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame

Please love let's make
No impartial vow
