[Verse 1] Night hangs low on broken stone, no wheel turns, no whistle blows. Empty windows, eyeless walls, dust in every step that falls. See him coming through the rain made of cinder, smoke and pain; in his hands a trembling light, small and stubborn in the night. [Chorus] He walks with the last fire through a silent, shattered town, little flame against the darkness, no one left to pass it down. Streets remember all that vanished, air remembers every sound, he walks with the last fire where the world fell to the ground. [Verse 2] Boots sink deep in burned-out clay, ghosts of voices fade away. Shattered glass and twisted wire, all bow back before that fire. Every doorway watched him once, every rooftop knew his name; now the bricks and broken beams only answer to the flame. [Chorus] He walks with the last fire through a silent, shattered town, little flame against the darkness, no one left to pass it down. Streets remember all that vanished, air remembers every sound, he walks with the last fire where the world fell to the ground. [Verse 3] No one asked him to remain, no one gave him word or sign; still he circles through the ruins like a clock that lost its time. Ash falls soft upon his shoulders, settles in his weary hair; when the wind would take the spark, see him shield it with a prayer. [Bridge] No flag, no drum, no marching line, only footsteps keeping time. One man, one coal, one stubborn glow, all that lives in all this snow. [Chorus] He walks with the last fire through a silent, shattered town, little flame against the darkness, no one left to pass it down. Streets remember all that vanished, air remembers every sound, he walks with the last fire where the world fell to the ground. [Outro] When that little light burns out, stone and shadow will be one; till that day he keeps it living for the dead and for the sun. If you listen in the ashes when the evening bells are done, you can hear his slow steps beating like a heart that won't be gone.
