Music video observations[]
The scene opens with Lee and her group idle around a campfire. They start gazing at each other, seemingly entranced to move as the beat of the song slowly builds up. Lee then begins to take action, mesmerizing the men and woman into participating in her dance. A scene switch and they continue with their performance as night falls.
Trivia[]
- The lyrics "treacherous way of life / for the fool and the wise / big rewards for the brave / punishment so they’ll behave" were first introduced as an opener to the album's trailer.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Treacherous way of life
For the fool and the wise
Big rewards for the brave
Punishment so they'll behave, behave
[Chorus]
Play with me the game of fire
Join the loud and heartfelt choir
This is the sound of joy
Coming from my innermost
Sprung from north, coast to coast
[Chorus]
Play with me the game of fire
Join the loud and heartfelt choir
This is the sound of joy
Coming from my innermost
Sprung from north, coast to coast
[Verse 2]
There were calls and demands
To become one of them
Gave me life on one condition
I owe them this, I owe them vision
[Chorus]
Play with me the game of fire
Join the loud and heartfelt choir
This is the sound of joy
Coming from my innermost
Sprung from north, coast to coast
[Chorus]
Play with me the game of fire
Join the loud and heartfelt choir
This is the sound of joy
Coming from my innermost
Sprung from north, coast to coast
[Outro]
Of joy
Coming from your innermost
Sprung from north, coast to coast
