Films you watch just roll on

Frame by frame they're stolen

Images that miss you

You've grown far too distant

I could watch the sunrise

You just sign your name on it

Captured by the game of art

You're so anxious to express them

But you'd write the finest lines

If you felt your own expression



Melt the ice and let it rise

Melt the ice and let it rise

Strike a match the spark will bring you fire



So uncertain inside you are a child

Crying out false witness

In this world though you're on trial

Lost in your smokescreen

Anticipating prizes

They caught you burning books

And you shouldn't play with fire



Melt the ice and let it rise

Melt the ice and let it rise

Strike a match the spark will bring you fire



I could watch the sunrise

You just sign your name on it

And once the water's warm enough you'll swim

While I will learn to dive

Oh blue flame



Melt the ice and let it rise

Strike a match the spark will bring you fire

Melt the ice and let it rise



And I could watch the sunrise

But you'd just sign your name on it...
