[Verse 1: Fire] From London 1666, New York 1835 and Chicago 1871, oh, how you’ve left your marks… But when you leave us, you leave us in a world so dark… You cause destruction, but it’s a necessary evil, and infernos spread For out of ashes we rise stronger, like a phoenix, we rise from the dead A wild blaze burns bright, but we won't fear its light For it may burn, it may singe, but we’ll see it as hope so bright [pre-chorus buildup] Just as the ancient greeks said, the world is split in four For over a thousand years, we never questioned if there's more Fire, Air, Water and Earth, were the bricks with which the world was made There came others, but these were the four that in our minds stayed… [chorus] (Oh!) FIRE, FIRE! Oh, the great blaze! Passion and hope’s flame (Oh!) AIR, AIR! Oh, the great gust! The breeze that one can't tame (Oh!) WATER! WATER! Oh, the great river! Free-flowing to lands we can not name (Oh!) EARTH! EARTH! Oh, the great mountain! Steadfast, always the same! [Verse 2: air] Breeze! Breeze! We hear your storm blow Breeze! Breeze! Will you bring rain or snow? Huff and puff! Blow all your enemies away! Huff and puff! You're a force of nature, come what may! Breeze! Breeze! You stole our every breath Breeze! Breeze! You’ve followed us from birth till death Huff and puff! Through cyclones and tornadoes you’ll never leave Huff and puff! yet so fickle, you leave us every time you grieve Breeze! Breeze! For thousands of years we dreamed to reach your skies Breeze! Breeze! Like Icarus, we will towards the sun rise [chorus] (Oh!) FIRE, FIRE! Oh, the great blaze! Passion and hope’s flame (Oh!) AIR, AIR! Oh, the great gust! The breeze that one can't tame (Oh!) WATER! WATER! Oh, the great river! Free-flowing to lands we can not name (Oh!) EARTH! EARTH! Oh, the great mountain! Steadfast, always the same! [verse 3: Water] Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We heard you’re the source of all the world’s life Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We heard you’re can carve stone, like a knife Heave Ho! Yo Ho! We can’t see your endless unimaginable depth Heave Ho! Yo Ho! We can’t see nought but horizon right and left Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We smell the scent of fish and your other bounty Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We smell the salt of the ocean as we sail for queen and country Heave Ho! Yo Ho! We feel your wave strike against our ship's hold Heave Ho! Yo Ho! We feel feel your wrath, against our adventure bold Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We touch the surface as we once again capsize Yo Ho! Heave Ho! We touch the seafloor as life’s liquid took it from our eyes [chorus] (Oh!) FIRE, FIRE! Oh, the great blaze! Passion and hope’s flame (Oh!) AIR, AIR! Oh, the great gust! The breeze that one can't tame (Oh!) WATER! WATER! Oh, the great river! Free-flowing to lands we can not name (Oh!) EARTH! EARTH! Oh, the great mountain! Steadfast, always the same! [Verse 4: Earth] Oh! the mountain rises towards the skies, it’s caverns go to the planet’s core. Like dwarves we will strike you till the end of days for gold and other ore. Yet you stand steadfast, unmoving, uncaring, even if we dig more and more. Oh Earth! Oh Terra! Oh Gaia, by so many names we named you in our lore. But I suppose… you had the last laugh… as you entomb us once we’re sick and sore It may have started with fire and water, but it'll always end with you of the four… [pre-chorus buildup] Just as the ancient greeks said, the world is split in four For over a thousand years, we never questioned if there's more Fire, Air, Water and Earth, were the bricks with which the world was made There came others, but these were the four that in our minds stayed… [final chorus] (Oh!) FIRE, FIRE! Oh, the great blaze! Passion and hope’s flame (Oh!) AIR, AIR! Oh, the great gust! The breeze that one can't tame (Oh!) WATER! WATER! Oh, the great river! Free-flowing to lands we can not name (Oh!) EARTH! EARTH! Oh, the great mountain! Steadfast, always the same!
