[Intro] Beneath the moon, beneath the rain A lonely fire calls my name With strings of oak and songs of old I walk where fallen tales are told [Verse] I came with dust upon my boots And winter in my hair A broken road, a borrowed cloak A tune for every prayer I sang of kings in silver halls Of shields beneath the sun Of heroes lost beyond the hills And wars that were never won [Pre-Chorus] But every word began to burn Like embers in my hand The more I sang, the more I learned The truth beneath the land [Chorus] I am the song of the wandering flame Carrying thunder through sorrow and shame Raise up your voices, remember my name The night is long but the fire remains I am the cry that the cold winds became Singing for hearts that were chained and blamed Follow the spark through the storm and the rain I am the song of the wandering flame [Verse] In every town they paid with bread In every barn I slept The mothers wept for vanished sons The old men watched and kept A silence sharp as battle steel A fear they would not show But when I played the ancient airs Their guarded eyes would glow [Pre-Chorus] A melody can wake the stone A chorus breaks the wall One voice may wander all alone But many voices call [Chorus] I am the song of the wandering flame Carrying thunder through sorrow and shame Raise up your voices, remember my name The night is long but the fire remains I am the cry that the cold winds became Singing for hearts that were chained and blamed Follow the spark through the storm and the rain I am the song of the wandering flame [Interlude] Sing, sing, sing through the night Bring, bring, bring back the light Stone may sleep and crowns may fall One bright song can wake them all [Solo] Fire in the strings Fire in the sky Fire in the hearts That refuse to die [Bridge] I never held a sharpened blade I never wore a crown But every chord my fingers made Could shake a fortress down For legends are not dead and gone They hide in humble breath And songs can carry names beyond The reach of fear and death [Breakdown] No sword in my hand No throne to my name Only the road Only the flame [Build-up] Light it higher Lift it higher Let the sleeping kingdom hear Light it higher Lift it higher Let the dawn draw near [Chorus] I am the song of the wandering flame Carrying thunder through sorrow and shame Raise up your voices, remember my name The night is long but the fire remains I am the cry that the cold winds became Singing for hearts that were chained and blamed Follow the spark through the storm and the rain I am the song of the wandering flame [Chorus] I am the song of the wandering flame A road-born heart with a sky-born name From village ashes to castle stone No tyrant rules when the people have known I am the cry that the cold winds became Singing for hearts that were chained and blamed Follow the spark through the storm and the rain I am the song of the wandering flame [Outro] Beneath the moon, beneath the rain A lonely fire calls my name If one voice lives, no hope is gone So carry the flame and sing it on
