Round the fire we sat six,
The fires within kept us warm,
Shielded us from the cold that crept,
Behind our backs and stabbed our throats,
Round the fire we sat five,
His fire died he went amiss,
Six feet under beneath the snow,
Our tears held back we couldn't show,
Round the fire we sat four,
She died not from the cold outside,
But died from the cold within,
The cold that came with the loveshe lost,
Round the fire we still sat four,
It's late at night we can move no more,
The air so dense her lungs gave out,
I saw the pain in her no doubt,
Round the fire we sat three
Our fires dimmed he looked at me
His heart had froze but his fire still
He gave us both the flame he left
Round the fire we sat two
With only a hope of two
We were so close our noses met
I hoped the night wouldn't end not yet,
Round the fire we sat two
The ball of fire shone its way through
Through the hearts that froze
Round the fire we sat six
