And so I walked out of the garden
Into the mourning mist and light
Pulled the velvet veil from 'round the sun
And turned about for second sight.

I caught a glimpse of pyretic beauty
With flowers in her hair
She danced as a slumbering whirling dervish
With embers in her stare.

Fire flower child
Naked devil rain
Hold a light to your desire
Don't be a slave
Fire flower child
Poison in the vein
Hold a light to your desire
Rage out your rage.

She spoke with a tongue of liquid
Her words as sweet as wine
With a fire in my head
I could not fathom
The ocean in her mind

One heart for the hurting
One hope to be free
One love for the lonely
One life - watch it bleed.

Simple things defined her love
Complexities brought out her hate
She cried - passion - Gloria
In your circle I'm complete.

Fire flower child
Naked devil rain
Hold a light to your desire
Don't be a slave
Fire flower child
Poison in the vein
Hold a light to your desire
Don't be a slave.
Fire flower child
Desire of the age
Pour the flame out of your pyre
Rage out your rage.
