BUFFY
I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back
Now, through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same
So, I will walk through the fire
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it - -
SPIKE
The torch I bear is scorching me
And Buffy's laughing I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies!
I better help her out...
LOTD
Cause she is drawn to the fire
LOTD: Some people never learn / SPIKE: She will never learn
SPIKE AND LOTD
And she will walk through the fire
And let it - -
GILES
Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
Is my slayer too far gone to care?
XANDER
What if Buffy can't defeat it?
ANYA
Beady Eyes is right
We're needed!
...Or we could just sit around and glare
ANYA, GILES, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDER
We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So, we will walk through the fire...
(Buffy and Tara's following verses overlap.)
BUFFY
So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
But why I froze, not one among them knows
And never can be told
TARA
What can't we face
If we're together?
(These three parts are sung mostly in unison.)
PART I
ANYA
She came from the grave much graver
SPIKE
First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her
TARA
Everything is turning out so dark
SPIKE
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her
WILLOW
I think this line is mostly filler
GILES
What's it going to take to strike a spark?
PART II
BUFFY
Going through the motions
Walking through the part
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
PART III
LOTD
So one by one, they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
That single flame
Ain't what they had in mind
It's what they have inside She will come to me
BUFFY, ANYA, GILES, SPIKE, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDER
And we are caught in the fire
At the point of no return
So we will walk through the fire
And let it
Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn!
LOTD (spoken)
Showtime...
