The Way of the Fire (dynamic 1dB) Songtext
von Wintersun

Fire, the oldest one
The force in the beginning of time
Show me your face and your fierce eyes
Reveal the secrets those flames hide
Pass on the wisdom and strength
And I shall honour this legacy for my dying day
Until the fire will burn all the memories away

Fire, the greatest one
Light the path I have chosen
Lead me away from these wintry meadows
Show me the way of the treacherous shadows
But nothing lasts forever
Even this fire I have inside

Fire burns wild in the mountains
It burns deep inside my heart
It burns away the harmony of space and time
But from the ashes, new worlds will rise


Fire, the oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire, the greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the-
Fire, the oldest one
Gives light to my chosen path, so dark
Oh, fire
We can never tame the way of the fire

Flames in the darkness reaching the stars
A million sparks rise, dancing into the sky
I′m mesmerized by the blaze, I'm tempted to adjust my fate
So long, I′ve been longing for the feeling, the feeling of tranquility

I will leave this wretched world behind (before it falls apart)
I see the skies so calm, and I can't wait anymore (I can't wait anymore)
Coldness of winter night, I will find my way somehow (I will find my way)
Beyond the stars, a new world awaits me now, oh

Through the fields of snow, we walk
The endless path of stars
Will we reach the horizon? (Will we reach the horizon?)

Come follow me, eternal star
I will guide you away from the dark
Through the coldness of winter night (the coldness of winter night)
We′ll find our way in the blaze of the fire′s light
The sun of the fading dream (the sun of the fading dream)
I can almost reach it, but it's still so far away
The fire will die in our hearts (the fire will die in our hearts)
When it′s time to leave this world behind, oh


We shall leave this world behind
We shall leave this world behind
We shall leave this world behind

Fire, the oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire, the greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the fire, oh-oh!

We shall leave this world behind
Fire, the oldest one
The fire will die in our hearts
Fire, the greatest one
And we can never understand
The way of the fire
We shall leave this world behind
We shall leave this world behind
The fire will die in our hearts
The way of the fire!
