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

(refrain)
So I will walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it-


(Cut to Spike in an ally)

SPIKE: The torch I bear is scorching me
Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies!
I better help her out.

SWEET: (refrain) 'Cause she is drawn to the fire. Some people

SPIKE: She will

SPIKE/SWEET: never learn. And she will walk through the fire And let it-

GILES: (bridge) 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/XANDER: (refrain)
We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So we will walk through the fire


BUFFY: So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold


TARA: (in background) What can't we face...
If we're together?

BUFFY: But why I froze, not one among them knows
And never can be told.

NYA: 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's mostly filler

GILES: What's it gonna take to strike a spark?

SWEET: (behind the last 6 bits) So one by one they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
But what they'll find
Ain't what they have in mind
It's what they have inside

BUFFY: These endless days are finally ending in a blaze

SWEET: She will come to me.

BUFFY, ANYA, GILES, SPIKE, TARA, WILLOW, XANDER: And we are caught in the fire
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!
