Lyrics

Before this night passes by we must claim it
Before the world closes in and tries to tame it
Our heart and soul burning bright with new passion
And so we kindle the flame
Our purpose one and the same
A race with time to the wire
To fan the flame into fire

Before we return to lives we must go to
Before the night slips away, I want to know you
Let's sing a song to rejoice in our meeting
Another voice in the choir
Another log on the fire
Forget that dawn will appear
Our only moment is here

Our masquerade will burn to the ground
Behind the fire
Together we're igniting the sound
Behind the fire
With a song remaking the world before our eyes

The spark we lost is now to be found
Behind the fire
Together we're igniting the sound
Behind the fire
With a song remaking the world before our eyes

Before this night passes by we must claim it
Before the world closes in and tries to tame it
Our song will carry a torch through the darkness
Another chance to inspire
Another log on the fire
This moment will linger on
Long after we have all gone


Our masquerade will burn to the ground
Behind the fire
Together we're igniting the sound
Behind the fire
With a song remaking the world before our eyes

The spark we lost is now to be found
Behind the fire
Together we're igniting the sound
Behind the fire
With a song remaking the world

Behind the fire
Voices higher
One desire
To be in the light
Behind the fire

Behind the fire
Voices higher
One desire
To begin anew
Behind the fire
