Track Insight / Lyrics
In Firelink's hollow cradle, 'neath the midnight sky
I stand beside the rusting beast, that once set the world alight
The iron colossus, now still, beset by time's decay
A monument to a glory that forever went astray
As embers conspire to rekindle, in this desolate place
I hear whispers of a tale, that time left in its space
Of wars fought, and empires risen, and kings laid low at last
In this hard-won haven of peace, where the strong and the meek are vast
Oh, Flame of Serenity, upon this battle-scarred plain
May your calming warmth envelop, and soothe the hearts of men
In your gentle light I'll find solace, and a path to believe
That even in the darkest night, a brighter dawn can leave
The wheels that turned, the pistons heaved, as I rode across the land
Seeking fortune, fame, and fame's embrace, but now my dreams are in hand
For in this sanctuary of steel, I've found a safer refuge here
A chance to dream anew, and leave the ghosts of my past unclear
As embers conspire to rekindle, in this desolate place
I hear whispers of a tale, that time left in its space
Of wars fought, and empires risen, and kings laid low at last
In this hard-won haven of peace, where the strong and the meek are vast
Oh, Flame of Serenity, upon this battle-scarred plain
May your calming warmth envelop, and soothe the hearts of men
In your gentle light I'll find solace, and a path to believe
That even in the darkest night, a brighter dawn can leave
In time, the scars will fade, the iron will take root
As I rebuild, and forge a new dream, in this ancient ruin's fruit
For though the journey's not complete, and life's torment has been felt
I'll find my strength in quiet awe, and the fire's gentle vault
Oh, Flame of Serenity, upon this battle-scarred plain
May your calming warmth envelop, and soothe the hearts of men
In your gentle light I'll find solace, and a path to believe
That even in the darkest night, a brighter dawn can leave
As the embers fade, and the fire's gone to ash
I leave this hallowed ground, and set forth to face the dawn
With memories of peace in my heart, and a will to rise anew
In a world that knows my name, where dreams can still come true.
