Crucible route 66

Conditions or circumstances intensify the inner darkness within.

Deep inside of my heart

There's a little black fire

And when conditions are right

-

The darkness in me grows brighter

-

Deep inside of my heart

There's a little black fire

And when conditions are right

-

The darkness in me grows brighter
