Burning Sky
Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High across the sky
In the search for your soul
I will find you and
Bring you down to the ground
Release you from chains
And take you back home
In your eyes I can see
That you're fading away
To the shadows of Hell
But I will follow you
Through the darkest of times
I would give them my life
To take you away
From where fire will burn through the time
I will take you under my wings
We're flying like kings
Through the
Burning Sky
The stars will collide
The thunder below us is roaring
Blazing light
But the feeling is right
Breaking the shackles
We're finally free
In the night I will fly
High across the sky
In the search for your soul
I will find you and
Bring you down to the ground
Release you from chains
And take you back home
From where fire will burn through the time
I will take you under my wings
We're flying like kings
Through the
Burning sky
The stars will collide
The thunder below us is roaring
Blazing light
But the feeling is right
Breaking the shackles
We're finally free

In the night I will fly
Under the cover of darkness, I will take flight
High across the sky
Soaring far above the earth, exploring the reaches of the atmosphere
In the search for your soul
Looking for the deeper part of you that feels lost or trapped
I will find you and
I am determined to locate and rescue you
Bring you down to the ground
Safely transport you from the dangerous, elevated place where you currently reside
Release you from chains
Liberate you from any restraints, physical or emotional
And take you back home
Bring you to your familiar, comfortable haven
In your eyes I can see
I can perceive in your gaze
That you're fading away
You're losing your strength and willpower
To the shadows of Hell
Sinking into a dark, oppressive state of mind
But I will follow you
I refuse to give up on you or let you go alone
Through the darkest of times
Even during the most hopeless and trying moments
I would give them my life
I would risk everything, even my very existence, for you
To take you away
To rescue you from the negative forces dragging you down
From where fire will burn through the time
From a place where destruction will continue to wreak havoc, long into the future
I will take you under my wings
I will protect and shelter you with my own strength and abilities
We're flying like kings
We are regally soaring through the skies, with unbeatable spirits
Through the Burning Sky
Navigating through the intense, flaming atmosphere
The stars will collide
Celestial bodies crashing together in an unpredictable way
The thunder below us is roaring
Storms are brewing violently below us, making their presence known with loud thunder
Blazing light
The intense heat and brightness of the fiery surroundings
But the feeling is right
Despite the chaos around us, we are at peace in each other's company
Breaking the shackles
Proudly breaking free from anything that was holding us back before
We're finally free
We have escaped the darkness and are now liberated, living our true lives
