I saw you standing there alone,
I wondered if you wanted what you owned,
Your magic ladders in the sky tie you to the place where angels fight.

In the circle of fire,
Circle of fire.

Our madness, our envy, and desire ring you with an unforgiving fire,
You love them with a burning soul,
By the time he sold the ashes they were cold.

In the circle of fire,
The circle of fire.

Fingers crying for you; they're sleeping on your doorstep for the proof,
We love ghosts, we want to see through the blood and bones that hide us from the truth.

In the circle of fire,
Circle of fire.

You circle the city from the skies, watching children swallowing your lies,
It breaks you; you will never fall,
You've learned that love is greater than it all.

In the circle of fire,
Circle of fire,
In the circle of fire,
The circle of fire.
