The hour is rapidly changing
Soon the gates will all be closed
They're blaming the messenger
For the message
And so the darkness
Grows and grows and grows
But I'm Blowing on the Coals x3
To keep the fire burning
Have you seen the sword of justice
Twisted and bent out of shape
Whose going to come
With his soul on fire
Bend it back and make it straight
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Among the ruins of the temple
Among the thorns a flower grows
From a son
Whose searching for his father
From the ashes
Their's still a light that glows
(Chorus)
