The Man, The Wood & The Stone

There once lived a man, long ago
 In a land of days dark and cold
 Blessed with gifted hands, some wood and stone
 Birthed a glowing flame that none had known
 The people gathered around
 From every land and town
 ♪
 They'd never seen such a wonder, such warmth and such light
 Dancing and blazing throughout the cold nights
 He showed them how they too could make such a fire with their own hands
 With their own hands
 Well, the priests and the preachers, they heard of this man
 How his teachings of fire quickly spread through the land
 They feared such a power ought not rest in the hands of plain men
 So they conspired to end him in secret, you see
 But the people wanted answers, so quite cleverly
 They built a shrine and throne
 For the man, the wood, and the stone
 People worshiped on
 But oh, the flame was gone
 And they were taught, "Man is evil,
 he must do as the law requires.
 And he must never,
 But never play with fire."
