You listen to me then, if you're fishin' for reason, and though you're wishin and pleadin' you can't find it
Because our mind's moving forward witht the feet left behind
We try to step like we think, but we're stuck in the grime
Seperate yourself from the illusion of time
Watch eternity loop the chronological line:
A vision of continuous repetition of destruction
Enslaving earth as the servant of uninhibited production
Based in hate we waste a gift for greedy gain
Without need we bleed our mother until no hope remains
We turn our teeth upon each other, each one reach to stay afloat
But the weight of hate is heavy and survive alone we won't
The world spirals down around us everyday approaching black
The tracers turn a thriving forest to a smoking stack
You see it go, but don't you know, no magic turns it back?
The secret to survival's in how you Live, and Think, and Act
So go back into your body and believe only what you feel
Attatck melodically your thoughts because the ego isn't real
Be what you believe in doing what you know is right
Dive deep beyond your selfishness to release the inner light
We can stop the cycle, delete the damage that's been done
And it starts with you and me tonight, and spreads to everyone

The first video for this year's tour is up. It has some sweet sample clips from our black-light stage show, plus shows our crew and the programs we'll offer this year as we visit diabetes summer camps across the country.
It's the main featured video on our media-player: tournowthen.org/media/media.html

Re: Solo fire performances (in Fire Arts Education and Equipment) 1. talk to the audience. Face to face, no spinning. Your words connect your acts and convey your personality.
2. Go street perform. Even if there's not a good pitch near you. Even if you can't use fire. You will learn SO MUCH. If you can enterta... read more
