“Take On The Fire” was written as a warning to all those who would fall into the world of creation with artificial intelligence. A.I. is the new and exciting fad, and the fascination with this technology assures its foothold in our psyches. The promise of easy artistic works will lead us down a road of creative dependence. It has already begun.

Take on the fire; the fire will take you
You play the game, boy, but the rules weren’t meant for you
Step in the box, and the box will shut you in
Cut you off before you can begin

Take on the fire; into the flames you go
Just be careful, boy; it’s a world you’ll never know
And how you’ll yearn for that thing no one can teach
Always close, but always out of reach

And I know you know better, but it’s the game you have to play
Beware those puppet strings when the spotlight blinds your way

Take on the fire; it’s here and all the rage
Yes, it’s tempting, boy; it’s the start of a brand-new age
And you’ll go on, only to one day feel
Rather numb to all that was once real

And I know you know better, but it’s the game you have to play
Beware those puppet strings when the spotlight blinds your way

Take on the fire; into the flames you go
Just be careful, boy; as the flames begin to grow
Take on the fire, by the time you feel its burn
The time will be long past the point of no return
