Fire
Last Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we leave, these miles behind us,
We see the fire on the mountain,
We see the fire, Holy Fire.
As we run,
the top's coming down,
and the flamme, keeps on shining
As we crawl,
All things are falling,
And our shadows become silver lightning,
All smokes go up,
All minds go down,
And it keeps on burning.
When we left,
These miles behind us,
We saw the mountains facing each other,
And now all the moutains, are gone in the fire.
Oh Holy Fire!
Holy fire!
We saw the mountains, black as a feather,




Now all the mountains, are gone in the fire.
Holy Fire!

When we leave, these miles behind us,
As we move away from our past, we notice something burning in the distance.


We see the fire on the mountain,
We observe a fire burning on the mountaintop.


We see the fire, Holy Fire.
We witness the power and awe of the majestic burning blaze.


As we run, the top's coming down,
As we flee, everything around us crumbles and falls apart.


and the flamme, keeps on shining
Yet, the fire never ceases to illuminate and shine brightly in the darkness.


As we crawl, All things are falling,
As we become weaker and slower, all other things around us fall apart and crumble.


And our shadows become silver lightning,
The shadows of our former selves become a brief flash of brightness, like lightning.


All smokes go up, All minds go down,
The smoke rises, while our thoughts and emotions fall deep into despair.


And it keeps on burning.
But the fire continues to burn, stubbornly fighting to survive.


When we left, These miles behind us,
After putting our past behind us, we turned to see the mountains in the distance.


We saw the mountains facing each other,
We noticed the mountains steadily growing closer to each other.


And now all the mountains, are gone in the fire.
But now, all those mountains have been consumed by the raging inferno.


Oh Holy Fire!
We cry out in awe and reverence to the sacred flame.


Holy fire!
A repeated chant to express our respect and admiration for the magnificent blaze.

All smokes go up,
All minds go down,
And it keeps on burning.

We saw the mountains facing each other,
And now all the moutains, are gone in the fire.
Oh Holy Fire!

We saw the mountains, black as a feather,
Now all the mountains, are gone in the fire.
Holy Fire!
