[verse]
beloved of the singer, i, and harper to her song
yet time to time i sensed in her some strange and silent wrong
though long our life together, and her songs we played with pride
she kept her secret pain from me until the day she died

[chorus]
into the fire lies the path that i must tread
for i swear i’ll pull her from the flames or burn there in her stead
her gentle rest i could have borne, but now the price i know
into the beast’s eternal grip i cannot let her go

[verse]
the price she paid was shown me as i stood beside the bier
for i bent to give a farewell kiss and grief turned into fear
two things clutched tightly to her breast that froze me where i stood
a journal bound in leather and a parchment signed in blood

[chorus]
into the fire lies the path that i must tread
for i swear i’ll pull her from the flames or burn there in her stead
her gentle rest i could have borne, but now the price i know
into the beast’s eternal grip i cannot let her go

[verse]
i closed my eyes and laid my torch to the timbers of the pyre
stood summoning my courage as i faced the blazing fire
with all the force of rage and grief i called him in my mind
then felt the flames engulf me and in blood-red strike me blind

[chorus]
into the fire lies the path that i must tread
for i swear i’ll pull her from the flames or burn there in her stead
her gentle rest i could have borne, but now the price i know
into the beast’s eternal grip i cannot let her go

[verse]
there in his court i met his gaze, my blood a pounding drum
no words we spoke, he knew my mind, he knew why i had come
i flexed my aging fingers as i touched them to the strings
i held her face within my mind and then began to sing

[chorus]
into the fire lies the path that i must tread
for i swear i’ll pull her from the flames or burn there in her stead
her gentle rest i could have borne, but now the price i know
into the beast’s eternal grip i cannot let her go

[verse]
a song of love so pure that it could reach through darkest pain
for tears shone on his face as we were freed from his domain
i marveled even through my joy as we left the fiery keep
waterfalls could run uphill—lucifer could weep

[chorus]
into the fire lies the path that i must tread
for i swear i’ll pull her from the flames or burn there in her stead
her gentle rest i could have borne, but now the price i know
into the beast’s eternal grip i cannot let her go

[verse]
we said our last farewell and she went through the shining gate
i found myself at home again, the hour growing late
there on her empty pillow lay, and god knows what within
a journal bound in leather fine, as soft as human skin
