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
Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies
I'd better help her out

SWEET
Cause she is drawn to the fire
Some people

SPIKE
She will

SPIKE AND SWEET
Never learn
So 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

GILES, XANDER, ANYA, TARA, AND WILLOW
We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So we will walk through the fire

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

TARA
What can't we face

BUFFY
But why I froze
Not one among them knows

TARA
If we're together

BUFFY
And never can be told

ANYA
She came from the grave much graver

SWEET
So one by one
They come to me

SPIKE
First he'll kill her, then I'll save her

TARA
Everything is turning out so dark

SWEET
The distant redness as their guide

BUFFY
Going through the motions

SPIKE
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her

SWEET
But what they find
Ain't what they had in mind

BUFFY
Walking through the part

WILLOW
I think this line's mostly filler

GILES
What's it going to take to strike a spark?

SWEET
It's what they have inside

BUFFY
These endless days

SWEET
She will come

BUFFY
Are finally ending in a blaze

SWEET
To me

BUFFY, SPIKE, GILES, ANYA, XANDER, TARA, AND WILLOW
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
