The Last Flame - Echoes of the Void

Ashes and Ambers - the Final Glow

On a cold December night

I'm warming up by the campfire

Watching flames that don't get tired

Moving with rhythm in the fire

My memory sets me tight

To a cold January night

The start of something bright

While watching the flames on fire

Moving through the seasons

I always found good reasons

To visit colorful regions

Especially those at campfire renditions

On a cold December night

I put a branch on the fire

Watch the flames suddenly ignite

Bringing joy to my soul that is tired

Autumn leaves descending

Flames in the fire ascending

The year is coming to an ending

The fire seems unending

The last Branch I hold tight

Throw it into the fire

That's how I end this night

Watching the flame and fire
