Gather round to hear the tale so stark
Slim Junior, the flame in the dark
His fiery heart, his fears untold
In every place, the story's bold
Once a wizard with noble intent
Whose hairless crown a spirit bendt
He sought in flames a fierce disguise
To hide the truth before your eyes
In night the fireballs fly
A fiery symphony across the sky
Each spark a secret, Each flame a lie
Of a bald wizard, too shy to cry
Gather round to hear the tale so stark
Slim Junior, the flame in the dark
His fiery heart, his fears untold
In every blaze, his story's bold
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen close, the embers say
Not all is lost, there's another way
In each of us, a flame can hide
The parts of us we cannot abide
So let him dance, let him roar
As long as now, he can ignore
For in his flames, he finds release
And in our listening, a piece of peace
Gather round, hear the tale so stark
Slim Junior, the flame in the dark
His fiery heart, his fears untold
In every place, the story's bold
Oh, oh, oh, oh
So ends the tale of fire and night
Of a wizard's struggle, his endless fight
Remember him when the fire shines bright
Slim Junior, the parts that last, they lie
