Flames dance on the clouds
Nine bodies eager to shine
Swaying with the wind
Soot that marks the ground
Guidance to the unknown path
To a gate of old
Orbs of golden light
Judgment of the guardian
The heart must be pure
Pedestal of stone
Markings of a painted flame
A collar of cloth
A patient statue
Waiting for the time to come
When it lives again
