I have watched the battles raging In the fiery fields of hell Up and out now, I come blazing From the pits where I have dwelled I have tasted cold betrayal And fought against my will This old heart can't burn forever Yet it glows within me still Every heartbeat stokes the flame Sends a dark heat through my veins Every heartbeat holds the pain Deep in my heart of flames Deep in my heart of flames Now we travel on together A purpose that will bind Our thoughts and our ambitions Our memories and minds If my heart should overwhelm me I will acquiesce with grace For I am thankful for each moment Each friendship and embrace Every heartbeat stokes the flame Sends a dark heat through my veins Every heartbeat holds the pain Deep in my heart of flames Deep in my heart of flames The laughter and the sorrow The wonder and the woe With every path we follow Wherever we may go This infernal burning engine This heavy heart I bear Is light when we're together My burden now is shared Every heartbeat stokes the flame Sends a dark heat through my veins Every heartbeat holds the pain Deep in my heart of flames Deep in my heart of flames
