Upon an empty plain A young one stands A face without a name An open book with willing hands A hungry heart that carries its own flame Framed inside a door The journey calls The maps are lost forevermore Behind him just one shadow fall He walks among the many That have come this way before Who will guide this brave, young traveller Walking through the great unknow? Sanctify the rites of passage Who can folow where he goes? I will chase the fire Wherever it may burn Desire will never let me be I will chase the fire Everywhere I turn The fire it burns in me A broken wing A ragged road A sacrifice to get you Where you want to go The endless hours This heavy load The laws of heaven tell us That it always must be so So welcome in th well worn soldier Still with miles and miles to know Give him peace for just one moment Love him and the let him go I will chase the fire Wherever it may burn Desire will never let me be I will chase the fire Everywhere I turn The fire it burns in me
