| [Chorus]
Colors weave into a spire of flame. Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed. Bear this torch against the cold of the night. Search your soul and re-awaken the undying light! - [Verse 1] On that day- when the sky fell away, Our world came to an end. In our eyes, did a fading sun rise in the dark? Glimmering shadows. - Silence grows in the spaces between, Stretching out beyond time. Rising up, as a chorus of souls find a voice- flickering through the void. - These little sparks cling on to life- Everyone caught in the struggle. And then the storms of change- they fan the flames, Scattering ashes to the wind. - [Pre-Chorus] Every soul contains a whisper of light, Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight. No escape- no greater fate to be made. In the end the chains of time will not break. - [Chorus] Colors weave into a spire of flame. Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed. Bear this torch against the cold of the night. Search your soul and re-awaken the undying light! - [Verse 2] As fate spins a thread without end, New life draws its first breath; Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past- Where destiny holds fast. - Here where we stand- hand clenched in hand. Everyone caught in the struggle. This is the day we finally find a way- Stepping into our tomorrow. - [Pre-Chorus] Every soul contains a whisper of light, Growing louder as it calls to unite. From that distance sings a chorus of souls- Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals. - [Chorus] Colors weave into a spire of flame. Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed. Bear this torch against the cold of the night. Light will guide you on the way on your way to the ULTIMATE fight! - [Pre-Chorus] Every soul contains a whisper of light, Growing louder as it calls to unite. From that distance sings a chorus of souls- Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals. - [Chorus] Colors weave into a spire of flame. Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed. Bear this torch against the cold of the night. Light will guide you on the way on your way to the ULTIMATE fight! |
