Who Tends the Fire Songtext
von Overkill

Who tends the fire
Who keeps the torches lit
Who fills your eyes with smoke
So you can′t see
I need the fire
I need the torches lit
To see through all the smoke
Covering me

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
I have watched the tides a turning
And they go from dark to light


What is this meaning
What does this writing mean
Where do I go
What do I do for now
Prophecies are foolish
They never last
They never speak the truth
So why are they calling me now

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
And I have watched the tides a turning
And they go from dark to light

I don't know cause I cannot see
All I′m sure is I gotta be
I'm not sure that I'm even me
But I know that I gotta be
You don′t know that you′re gonna die
Birth, life, death, is the reason why
Save those tears that you're gonna cry
Cause I know that you′re gonna die
Yes I know that I cannot see
And I'm sure that I gotta be
All these voices are killin′ me
But they say that I got
Say that I got
Say that I gotta be me


Who tends the fire
Who keeps the torches lit
Who fill your eyes with smoke
So you can't see
I need the fire
I need the torches lit to see

I have seen the fires burning
They′re burning through the night
And I have watched the tide a turning
Still the fire burning bright
