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...
