Lyrics
**[Intro]**
```
(Whispers “If you dare”)
In twilight's hush, flame ignites,
Some secret dance of shadow-form’d nights.
**[Verse 1]**
At Such-and-Such Roadhead, he stands alone,
Backpack slung, heart eager, eyes wide, (primeval predeliction)
Forest beckons, with ancient arms open, (moon guide)
Moon, a silver coin, glides and casts its guiding reflection.
And what this is? A flicker, a clandestine show,
A fire in darkness, a forbidden glow.
He peers through pines, heart wild throbbing mild,
Their secret revealed, mutualities beguiled.
**[Bridge (Whispers)]**
They're up to something, such shadowed souls,
Spark-form’d secret alphabets, spoke by knights of belles of mystic roles.
**[Melodious Elven Chorus]**
Flickering forest, secret brooks low,
Sugarplum rebels, dancing where forbidden fires glow.
He shivers in thrall, fear and curiosities conspire - to collide,
Open flame in cloistered woods, tenders a danger he can barely and hardly abide.
**[Verse 2]**
Steps closer he, eyes narrowing at dancers’ feet pounding,
Faces hidden amid tresses, cloaks of moonlight's veil.
"Scaring off predators," he murmurs, half-smiling,
Their defiance intoxicating, though their courage proven frail.
He too yearns, as they, for wild untamed unknowns,
To scent the dew on ferns, to hear distant winds moan.
So, despite misgivings, he joins their secret rite,
His pact with forest’s intuitions, encircled by sparks of stars so bright.
**[Drop (Whispers)]**
Flames leap higher, shadows intertwine,
Inarticulate laughter echoes ancient pine.
**[Melodious Elven Chorus]** (Who knew?)
Flickering forest, secret brooks low, (sparkle sparkling flow)
Sugarplum rebels, dancing where forbidden fires glow.
He shivers in thrall, fear and curiosities conspire - to collide,
Open flame in cloistered woods, tenders a danger he can barely and hardly abide.
**[Outro]**
With dawn’s breaking aura, all flickers fade away,
A pact unwittingly sealed, auras ablaze with ethereal fire.
He emerges thus changed, a forest wanderer now,
His silent footsteps knowing secrets, his spirit sparking higher.
For in that heart of forest dark, kinship booned him a primal might ,
His tribe now of flame-bearers, guardians of forest’s deep night.
Flickering forestine aware intuition, well-hid yet abidingly bright,
Abiding memory, a curious courage, aglow as a cloistered light.
(So whispers, if you dare)
**[Outro: flickering fade]**
With dawn’s breaking aura, all flickers fade away,
A pact unwittingly sealed, auras ablaze with ethereal fire.
He emerges thus changed, a forest wanderer now,
His silent footsteps knowing secrets, his spirit sparking higher.
For in that heart of forest dark, kinship booned him a primal might ,
His tribe now of flame-bearers, guardians of forest’s deep night.
Flickering forestine aware intuition, well-hid yet abidingly bright,
Abiding memory, a curious courage, aglow as a cloistered light.
