Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood in our world of wire
Ignite our dreams
Of starry skies and you and me
As realized, our bigger themes
[Chorus]
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
[Verse 2]
Do or die, what's done is done
True beauty lies on the blue horizon
Who or why? What's one is one
In pure disguise of vulgar sons
[Chorus]
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
[Bridge]
Whatever burns burns eternally
So take me in turns internally
When I'm on fire, my body will be
Forever yours, nocturnal me
[Verse 3]
In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood in our world of wire
Ignite our dreams
Of starry skies and you and me
As realized, our bigger themes
[Chorus]
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours, nocturnal me
