Ember Rise - Blue Fire

[Verse 1] The blue fire whirled and it swayed, The dear distant horizons have slipped out of sight. For the first time I'm singing of love, For the first time I renounce every fight. I was like some forgotten old garden, Too easy with women and wine, I was loving to drink and to dance, Losing life without looking behind. [Pre-Chorus] I only want to look at you, Those golden-brown eyes, a deep, drowning pool — And even with your heart still in the past, You'd never find your way to someone new... [Chorus] Your gentle step, your slender frame — If you only knew, with that stubborn heart, How a hooligan knows how to love, How a rebel can fall apart. For the first time I sing of love, For the first time I swear off the fight — I was storming through life like a wildfire, Now you're burning me blue in the night. [Verse 2] I'd forget every tavern for good, I'd abandon the poems I wrote, Just to tenderly be touching your hand, Just to watch autumn burn in your hair like smoke. [Pre-Chorus] I only want to look at you, Those golden-brown eyes, a deep, drowning pool — And even with your heart still in the past, You'd never find your way to someone new... [Chorus] Your gentle step, your slender frame — If you only knew, with that stubborn heart, How a hooligan knows how to love, How a rebel can fall apart. For the first time I sing of love, For the first time I swear off the fight — I was storming through life like a wildfire, Now you're burning me blue in the night. [Bridge] [Quietly, with increasing intensity] I would follow you, forevermore, Through my own lands, through lands unknown — I'd give up all the songs and the storms, Just to never be walking alone... [Final Chorus] [at full volume, with a slight change in the last lines] Your gentle step, your slender frame — If you only knew, with that stubborn heart, How a hooligan knows how to love, How a rebel can fall apart. For the first time I sing of love, For the first time I swear off the fight — For the first time, for the first time, I was born in the light of your eyes. [Outro] [Fading away, echoing] For the first time… for the first time… I'm singing of love… The blue fire softly fades away… [fade out]
