Do Not Douse the Fire that You Ignite


Do not douse the fire that you ignite; The smallest spark will tie these tattered frays. Keep pushing forward with a stronger fight. There’s no reason for you to act from spite— Flickering flames keeps you from decay. Do not douse the fire that you ignite. This passing is not for you to incite. Prevent the Styx from leading you astray. Keep pushing forward with a stronger fight. Many pages remain for you to write, Heat the body you forever portray; Do not douse the fire that you ignite. Do not fall victim of perilous fright. Inhale and exhale to Satan’s dismay; Keep pushing forward with a stronger fight. Surmount the darkness confined in the night, Excommunicate your worries away. Do not douse the fire that you ignite— Keep pushing forward with a stronger fight.
