LYRICS:
************************************************

Dancing around the fire
We've gothered here tonight
Flames are getting higher
Memories are filling my mind
As I look back through the time
Nothing left to find

You're just a memory from the past now
And now it's time for fire dance

FIRE IS BURNING IN MY SOUL
I'LL BE LOST FOREVER
FIRE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
UNTIL THE END OF TIME

In this mysterious place
The fire is showing it's face
Secrets are revealed
There is no turning back now
And as the hour draws near
I will burn with fear

You're just a memory from the past now
And now it's time for fire dance

FIRE IS BURNING IN MY SOUL
I'LL BE LOST FOREVER
FIRE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
UNTIL THE END OF TIME

You're just a memory from the past now
And now it's time for fire dance

FIRE IS BURNING IN MY SOUL
I'LL BE LOST FOREVER
FIRE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
UNTIL THE END OF TIME

FIRE IS BURNING IN MY SOUL
I'LL BE LOST FOREVER
FIRE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
UNTIL THE END OF TIME
