(Tribal percussion) ... ... ... (Verse 1) It starts with a flicker, a spark in my mind Dancing embers whisper, calling me inside The heat on my skin, the glow in my eyes I can't fight the hunger, I can't douse the fire (Pre-chorus) Feel it rise, feel it spread Burning bright inside my head Every breath, every thought Feeding flames that never stop (Chorus) Let it burn, let it rise! Flames are screaming through the night No control, no regret I am fire, I am death! (riff) ... ... ... (Verse 2) Ashes in the air, the world turns to dust I watch it all crumble, but still it's not enough The blaze in my chest, it swallows my soul No cure, no escape, just let the fire grow (Pre-Chorus) Feel it rise, feel it spread Burning bright inside my head Every breath, every thought Feeding flames that never stop (Chorus) Let it burn, let it rise! Flames are screaming through the night No control, no regret I am fire, I am death! (guitar solo) ... ... ... (Bridge) Smoke fills my lungs, I start to choke Realize too late—I’m burning alone The fire I loved, the fire I fed Now turns against me… now I’m dead! (Breakdown) ... ... ... (Chorus) Let it burn, let it rise! Flames are screaming through the night No control, no regret I was fire… now I’m ash.
