[Verse 1] Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. [Pre-Chorus] But ice can chill a burning soul, And love can freeze when left too long. We chase the heat, we guard the cold, We burn, we break, we carry on. [Chorus] Between the flame and the frost, We lose and find what we have lost. Hearts can burn or hearts can freeze, Both bring the end, both bring release. [Verse 2 ] But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate, To say that for destruction ice Is also great, And would suffice. [Bridge] We build our walls, we fan our coals, We learn too late what warmth can cost. But in the spark, the snow, the fight— We see the truth by borrowed light. [Final Chorus / Outro] Between the flame and the frost, We lose and find what we have lost. If all must end, then let it be— In fire, in ice, in memory.
