Encircled in a trance, hypnotic flame licking the night air

Flickering light against the marbled stone,

Blackened smoke sent high above,

Sparking changes in consciousness, we look deeply into the flame.

Embrace ancient ritual, seek to know hidden realms

Peer into the forest and see the burning elms,

Spell-bound by the pyre, unable to avert our eyes.

Blazing heat emanating, embers touch the sky

Flame dancing in my gaze, igniting my soul.

Burn away the unpure, like wood reduced to coal

Ash and smoke fill the air, adrift in the night

Hidden forest cult, encircling firelight

Wood and ash, flame and ember, feed the fire of your soul

It grows as it destroys

It cleanses the spirit

And allows for rebirth

From charred soil

Purification through fire and smoke,

The cleansing flame ablaze we invoke.
