boldly inscribed on the darkness of night
capturing my mind and my soul
the cold fires of the aurora's light
unfurl like a flag on a pole

tracing patterns in the darkness of night
they ask me to join in their dance
the cold fires of the aurora's light
hypnotize--and i am entranced

i'm embraced in the darkness of the night
i'm accepted by the night flames
the cold fires of the aurora's light
do not singe the skin, burn, or maim

playing games in the darkness of the night
we leap and twirl in the night air
the cold fires of the aurora's light
are the winners, i do declare

blazing trails in the darkness of night
carving a path amongst the stars
the cold fires of the aurora's light
and i race 'cross the sky and spar

fading against the darkness of the night
they lower me gently to earth
the cold fires of the aurora's light
gives me new meaning, hope, rebirth

they whisper in the darkness of the night
they will return again, someday
the cold fires of the aurora's light
i miss you...when can we next play?
