Fire and Ice
by Danilo Stern-Sapad
A powerful symphonic metal track about opposing forces, passion and coldness, destruction and preservation.
Some say the world will end in fire,
A blazing inferno, a burning pyre.
From what I’ve tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction, ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
In the flames of passion, hearts ignite,
Consuming all within their sight.
A fervor wild, a fevered blaze,
The fire dances in a fiery haze.
In the chilling depths of ice’s grasp,
A world in stillness, frozen fast.
The cold can break, the cold can bind,
A silent end to humankind.
In fire’s embrace, in ice’s chill,
The end will come, as fate’s own will.
Desire’s flame or hate’s cold spite,
Both lead to darkness, endless night.
Fire and ice, the world’s demise,
In the end, no compromise.
A tale of passion, a tale of hate,
Both sealing humanity’s fate.
About:
A warning about the extremes of hate and passion and their potential for destruction.
Lyrics inspired by Robert Frost’s poem, “Fire and Ice”.
