Heart beating like the drums around you
Walk the Flame, young one
Become a man
The flames rise high
And twenty feet in depth
Take your first step
Plunge into the fire
Searing, burning your flesh
Yet, take it slow
Walk the Flame, young one
Halfway through now
Your hair is burnt off
And you are ten steps closer
You try to gasp for breathe
But the flames consume you
Don't give up now
Three more steps
Take it: that one last step
The noise of drum beats
Flood your burning ears
You have walked the Flame
You are now a man [comments] => 3 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 43 [informant] => eyesxcriedxout1989 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

You have walked the Flame
You are now a man
