Tongues of fire tell of ancient ways Of long dead kings who ruled in pagan days They knocked before their burning gods Incandescent - worthy of our praise Long ago we lost our way Where's the thunder? Where's the light, you say? In the darkness we retire Let us light an endless fire Old Fires! Dying embers expire; but the feeling remains Burn bright, burn higher! Old Fires! I know you see their flames A regal sun once filled my days When a cold wind blew in and swept our fire away Without light how will I see you again? Or were you ever there to find? Long ago we lost our way Where's the thunder? Where's the light, you say? In the darkness we retire Let us light an endless fire Old Fires! Dying embers expire; but the feeling remains Burn bright, burn higher! Old Fires! I know you see their flames Long ago we lost our way Where's the thunder? Where's the light, you say? In the darkness we retire Let us light an endless fire Old Fires! Dying embers expire; but the feeling remains Burn bright, burn higher! Old Fires! I know you see their flames
