The Everlasting Songtext
von Volbeat

Greet the fire!

I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust, into silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were
I′m passing you over onto this world
We're high on the mountain, let go and see
The ember′s glow will set you free
Fly with the silence and feed the soul
It's the everlasting leaving home
Your memory will live forevermore

Greet the fire!

I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust, into silence


I welcome you stranger for what you were
I'm passing you over onto this world
We′re high on the mountain, let go and see
The ember′s glow will set you free
Fly with the silence and feed the soul
It's the everlasting leaving home
Your memory will live forevermore

You wear your scars with pride and joy
What doesn′t kill you will make you strong
Sadness wins and sadness falls
Now find the balance and make it yours
And life goes on, and on, and on
On and on and on
You saw the light when you were born
You step back into it when you are gone

Greet the fire!

I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust, into silence

We're high on the mountain, let go and flee
The ember′s glow is the everlasting
Fly with the silence, let go of me
We're leaving home with the everlasting

The everlasting
