Blue Light of the Flame - Dar Williams

How did we lose this great wrath

Everything burns in our path

The balance we broke, left us running through smoke

You’re at the blue light of the flame

As the earth melts at the poles

I race to man the controls

And I work harder, fiercer and smarter

You’re at the blue light of the flame

So this is where it all ends

With the flowers by your bed

And your friends come to you

As the light turns to dark

But the light shines through

Yes, when the hurricanes came

We were the Gods that we blame

We have orange-red fire, we feel our desire

You kneel at the blue light of the flame

Happy on rescue, somebody let you

Look into the blue light of the flame
