In the eyes of the watcher
The gleam of flames
Reflecting pictures
Of the years gone by
Time makes no difference
The sleep won't come
And tomorrow's daylight
Hiding around
This lonely mind
Eyes still awake
Taking a swig now and then
Poking the fire with the rod
Seeking the truth behind the blaze
Where lost all the glory days?
Vanity just remains
In his own wishing well
Has learned to fear
The fire of life
Has burned his hands
Too many times
In the shelter of smoke
He is feeling home
Gives him protection
From the outside world
[Bridge:]
The lesson of life
We all have to die
Ashes only stays
Under our names
If believed in kingdom come
Before all is gone
The chance is to reborn
Who'll need the fire?
[Chorus:]
Mindrust, watching the embers
Time passes his eyes in flow
Grand failure, betrayal, denial
The pain to swallow
Tarred, waiting to burn
Glow stays until it fades
Dying, weeping and slow
Before the rain comes falling
[After solo]
[Interlude:]
So the fire does not
Forever burn
And before the rain
He has to learn
Has learned to fear
The fire of life
Has burned his hands
Too many times
In the shelter of smoke
He is feeling home
Gives him protection
From the outside world
[Bridge:]
The lesson of life
We all have to die
Ashes only stays
Under our names
If believed in kingdom come
Before all is gone
The chance is to reborn
Who'll need the fire?
[Chorus:]
Mindrust, watching the embers
Time passes his eyes in flow
Grand failure, betrayal, denial
The pain to swallow
Tarred, waiting to burn
Glow stays until it fades
Dying, weeping and slow
Before the rain comes falling
