To Carry the Flame Songtext
von Old Man Gloom

Under the dirt
Down to the stone
Down where the ants
And the worms call home
There is the place
Where we began
Replaced the clay with a foreign sand

To carry the flame
Up through the earth
To harness the fire
Inside the hearth


Into the air
See the embers fly
The fiery ashes burning out in the sky
Smoke fills the air
It′s in everything
They smell the wild blaze as the cinders sing

To carry the flame
Up through the earth
To harness the fire
Inside the hearth

Higher higher burning fire
Making music like a choir
Burn the follies of my youth
All my vices and untruths

The bricks glow red
On into the night
We'll watch it burning til the morning light
