Long had the rains been pouring down Humming the songs of ice Strong had the current become Before I dared perceive its might So long had I tried to keep my flame aligned That its meaning was lost Never was I able to foresee How much these years would weigh on me The longer I wait The more I will repent The brighter I burn The more the tide will turn ♪ I bear fire in me And it ought to breathe the air For far too long I've been smothering all I would need to feel alive ♪ Many moons ahead, many roads to follow The past is gone, its words are hollow And I know my tale shall not be solely one of sorrow I bear fire in me And it ought to breathe the air For far too long I've been smothering all I would need to feel alive I bear fire in me – now arise! The shade of yesteryears shall fade away – arise! ♪ Fire – melt the ice that's binding me Fire, burn – light the way and set me free For one may never know What will arrive upon the morrow My remaining days are not For anyone else to borrow ♪ I bear fire in me And it ought to breathe the air For far too long I've been smothering all I would need to feel alive I bear fire in me – now arise! The shade of yesteryears shall fade away – arise!
