Try it this way:

"Through the darkness of future past
 the magician longs to see
 one chance out between two worlds:
 Fire! Walk with me."

Many mystical traditions consider flame a gateway between this world
and others. In Europe, there was at one time a superstition to the
effect that if you stared into a flame too long, the Devil would
come through it to take your soul. Another was that demons could
enter into our world through flame.

Of course, if "chants" is the way they displayed it on the closed captions,
then I have my head up my posterior again.
