  • Vesuvius
    I am here
    You are that all I have
    Fire of fire
    I'm insecure
    For it is all
    Been made to plan
    Though I know
    I will fail
    I cannot
    Be made to laugh
    For in life
    As in death
    I'd rather be burned
    Than be living in debt

    Vesuvius
    Are you a ghost
    Or the symbols of light
    Or a fantasy host?
    In your breast
    I carry the form
    The heart of the Earth
    And the weapons of warmth

    Vesuvius
    The tragic oath
    For you have destroyed
    With the elegant smoke
    Oracle, I've fallen at last
    But they were the feast
    Of a permanent blast

    Vesuvius
    Oh, be kind
    It hasn't occurred
    No it hasn't been said
    Sufjan, follow the path
    It leads to an article of imminent death
    Sufjan, follow your heart
    Follow the flame
    Or fall on the floor
    Sufjan, the panic inside
    The murdering ghost
    That you cannot ignore

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the host

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the ghost

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the host

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the ghost

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor your host

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the ghost

    Vesuvius
    Fire of fire
    Follow me now
    As I favor the ghost

    Follow me now
    Or follow down

    Why does it have to be so hard?
    Follow me now
    Or follow me down

    Why does it have to be so hard?
    Follow me now
    Or follow me down Writer/s: SUFJAN STEVENS
