Fire, the oldest one
The force in the beginning of time
Show me your face and your fierce eyes
Reveal the secrets those flames hide
Pass on the wisdom and strength
And I shall honour this legacy for my dying day
Until the fire will burn all the memories away

Fire, the greatest one
Light the path I have chosen
Lead me away from these wintry meadows
Show me the way of the treacherous shadows
But nothing lasts forever
Even this fire I have inside

Fire burns wild in the mountains
It burns deep inside my heart
It burns away the harmony of space and time
But from the ashes, new worlds will rise

Fire! The oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire! The greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the fire
Fire! The oldest one
Gives light to my chosen path, so dark
Oh, fire!
We can never tame the way of the fire

Flames in the darkness reaching the stars
Million sparks rise, dancing into the sky
I'm mesmerized by the blaze, I'm tempted to adjust my fate
So long, I've been longing for the feeling, the feeling of tranquillity

I will leave this wretched world behind
- Before it falls apart -
I see the skies so calm, and I can't wait anymore
- I can't wait anymore -
Coldness of winter night
I will find my way somehow
- I will find my way -
Beyond the stars, a new world awaits me now
- A new world awaits -

Through the fields of snow, we walk
The endless path of stars
Will we reach the horizon?

Come, follow me, eternal star
I will guide you away from the dark
Through the coldness of winter night
We'll find our way in the blaze of the fire's light
The sun of the fading dream
I can almost reach it, but it's still so far away
The fire will die in our hearts
When it's time to leave this world behind

We shall leave this world behind!

Fire! The oldest one
Burns wild inside my frozen heart
Fire! The greatest one
But I can never understand the way of the fire

- We shall leave this world behind -
Fire, the oldest one...
- The fire will die in our hearts -
Fire, the greatest one...

And we can never understand the way of the fire!
- We shall leave this world behind -
- The fire will die in our hearts -
The way of the fire!
