The Everlasting - Volbeat

Greet the fire

I live inside the burning flame

Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved ones disappear

Return to dust, into silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were

I’m passing you over onto this world

We’re high on the mountain, let go and see

The ember’s glow will set you free

Fly with the silence and feed the soul

It’s the everlasting leaving home

Your memory will live forevermore

Greet the fire

I live inside the burning flame

Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved ones disappear

Return to dust, into silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were

I’m passing you over onto this world

We’re high on the mountain, let go and see

The ember’s glow will set you free

Fly with the silence and feed the soul

It’s the everlasting leaving home

Your memory will live forevermore

You wear your scars with pride and joy

What doesn’t kill you will make you strong

Sadness wins and sadness falls

Now find the balance and make it yours

And life goes on and on and on

On and on and on

You saw the light when you were born

You step back into it when you are gone

Greet the fire

I live inside the burning flame

Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved ones disappear

Return to dust, into silence

We’re high on the mountain, let go and flee

The ember’s glow is the everlasting

Fly with the silence, let go of me

We’re leaving home with the everlasting

The everlasting
