Under The Burning Sky
Ari Koivunen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kneeling before this oasis of solitude
The ocean of silence drowning your memory
I keep reaching for you through the eyes of my mind
Through the wasteland of countless emotions entwined

Chorus:
May the burning sky come crashing down
And kingdoms fall

I'm crawling through this all
Feel my faith in you
Across the worlds that we're apart

Gazing to the sky from this maze of eternity
The stars burn my eyes and sear my immortal soul
I keep reaching for you, though my eyes are blind

Chorus:
May the burning sky come crashing down

And kingdoms fall
I'm crawling through this all
Feel my faith in you
Across the worlds that we're apart

Through the wasteland of countless emotions entwined
Through the eye of the storm raging on in my mind

Chorus:
May the burning sky come crashing down
And kingdoms fall
I'm crawling through this all
Feel my faith in you
Across the worlds that we're apart

And kingdoms fall
I'm crawling through this all

Feel my faith in you
Across the worlds that we're apart
