Tonde Hi ni Hairu Natsu no Mushi: (Japanese proverb)

[Choir: lyrics in parentheses, voice percussion, a cappella, doo-wop, scat, rap, choral, harmony, divisi, unison, delay, clapping] [Instrumental intro] [Chorus1 - choral Harmony] Like a summer moth to flame, Drawn to the heat of a burning game, Ignite the skies, play with fire, Dancing on a thin wire, can't retire. [Fill-in] [Verse1] In the shadow of the night, curiosity ignites, Flutters of wings, drawn to the bright lights, Danger lurks in the sparkling gleam, Yet the thrill, oh the thrill, is more than it seems. [Verse2] Closer now, the heat starts to sear, But the glow, so mesmerizing, has no peer, Risk and reward in a perilous dance, Caught in the blaze of a fatal trance. [Verse3] Realization dawns too late, Caught in the flames of a cruel fate, The lesson here, harsh and clear, Sometimes the light you seek is what you should fear. [Pre-chorus] So when you’re tempted by the glow, Remember what the wise ones know, Not all that glitters will be gold, Sometimes the stories left untold. [Chorus2 - choral unison] Like a summer moth to flame, Drawn to the heat of a burning game, Foolish hearts will chase the fire, Only to find their dire desire. [a cappella] Flying to the fire, summer's bug, A lesson in the heat, how snug, Drawn by the light, a fatal tug, Burned by the flame, a final hug. [Fill-in] [Coda] So heed this tale of bright allure, In every light, there's danger pure, Tonde Hi ni Hairu Natsu no Mushi, A proverb’s warning, wild and true.
