Peace On The Rise Lyrics
We can sit around this fire
And let our spirits ride on out
Watch it as a flame gets higher
I can see it in your eyes
Peace was on the rise
Slip into the same old dream every night
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in
Remember how we'd sleep so still
The trees were singing love songs
Drowning in the maze of a summer
I can see it in your eyes
And peace was on the rise
Slip into the same old dream every night
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in
We can sit around this fire
And let our spirits ride on out
Watch it as a flame gets higher
I can see it in your eyes
Peace was on the rise
Slip into the same old dream every night
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in
And let our spirits ride on out
Watch it as a flame gets higher
I can see it in your eyes
Peace was on the rise
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in
The trees were singing love songs
Drowning in the maze of a summer
I can see it in your eyes
And peace was on the rise
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in
And let our spirits ride on out
Watch it as a flame gets higher
I can see it in your eyes
Peace was on the rise
Welcome all the things that could've been
I can not avoid this lie with my lip
Interstellar space got broken in

A really nice tune by Chad VanGaalen! I read it as letting one's spirit drift away, in a warm room, walking in the streets of your city or, as suggested by the song, around the firecamp.
This very firecamp enhance the narrator's capacity to introspect, remember situations. But, this remembrance can sometimes be hazardous, as the narrator fears to confront his own demons. Instead, he'd better dissolve into the nothingness of the moment, the unity with the universe and the communion with his mates around the fire.
Somehow a very philosophical song, in a buddhist kind of way. Yet keeping the human behavior in mind makes it like the narrator is not better nor worse than every one else.
[Edit: Precision regarding the narrator's state of mind in the song]
