The Greatest Flame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like shadows on the wall
You come and you go
Through the streets
And the rain that falls down
On our sin
No more good-byes
Forever this way
Whenever the greatest flame in the world
Starts burning
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
Always in your eyes
A waking of souls
We gaze out on the road
That brought us up
To this place
The signposts never change
We'll go where they lead
Whenever the day to break us comes
We'll not give in
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
This is our place, in our lives
And no one can ever change this moment
Or pull this mountain to the ground
Live the day when the flame is strong
Live the day when the flame is strong
Come the day when love is gone
Take it over, Take it over
Live the day when the flame is strong
Live the day when the flame is strong
Come the day when love is gone
Take it over
This is our life, and our time
And nothing, is ever going to break us
Now we're on our own
This is our place, in our lives
And no one can ever change this moment
Or pull this mountain to the ground
