Emerald Flame Songtext
von Bernard Fanning

Who could face this ruthless beauty?
A masterpiece of hate and glory
Through simple silhouette and shadow
The bells of pardon ringing hollow
You have shattered my defenses
Now nothing will divide us

Through sacred fields fallen fallow
We build the tenements of sorrow
Step into this vacant future
With a hopeful alleluia

All to light the emerald flame beneath your brow
All to light the emerald flame


One of these days you′ll see the best of me
Most nights now you wrestle with the rest of me
Let me steal you for the weekend
You can scatter my defenses
I guess if you still love me then
Nothing will divide us

Through sacred fields fallen fallow
We build a monument to sorrow
Step into this vacant future
With a desperate alleluia

All to light the emerald flame beneath your brow
All to light the emerald flame

May this love, may this love
Be light upon you now
May this love, may this love
Be light upon you now

Through sacred fields fallen fallow
We build the tenements of sorrow
Skip into this vacant future
With a joyful alleluia

A song to light the emerald flame beneath your brow
All to light the emerald flame
