I've burned in shrines since the first bell rang
My coal cracks loud when the night winds sang
A welder comes in blue denim seams
He traces edges of my dying dreams
His torch clicks sharp like a fare meter's click
I glow brighter for his steady trick
Blue denim bonfire you're my final fare
Welding sparks fly in the ruined air
Firelink's stones remember every hand
That shaped the metal that healed the land
Taxi driver knows the roads that fade
But you're the only flame I've ever made
Your denim knees press cold on ancient slate
The shrine's breath rattles through the iron gate
You weld the cracks where the curse once crept
Each bead of light a promise softly kept
My embers hiss like a cabbie's cough
You feed me scrap and I burn it off
Blue denim bonfire you're my final fare
Welding sparks fly in the ruined air
Firelink's stones remember every hand
That shaped the metal that healed the land
Taxi driver knows the roads that fade
But you're the only flame I've ever made
The ashen estus steams beside your boot
You hum a tune from a forgotten root
Your visor reflects my dancing tongue
Two old souls singing a repair song
No passenger pays in souls or steel
Just warmth exchanged on a broken wheel
Blue denim bonfire you're my final fare
Welding sparks fly in the ruined air
Firelink's stones remember every hand
That shaped the metal that healed the land
Taxi driver knows the roads that fade
But you're the only flame I've ever made
Dawn cracks the sky like a windshield glare
You pack your kit with a weary prayer
My fire dims to a patient glow
Waiting for the next welder to show
The meter resets the road unwinds
Blue denim bonfire the journey finds
Blue denim bonfire you're my final fare
Welding sparks fly in the ruined air
Firelink's stones remember every hand
That shaped the metal that healed the land
Taxi driver knows the roads that fade
But you're the only flame I've ever made
Blue denim bonfire you're my final fare
Welding sparks fade in the ruined air
