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!
