Lyrics
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒉 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lyrics © 2026 Maris S. A string pulled tight but never snapped Tuned to a note it cannot name A knot too old to be unwrapped And hardened by eternal flame A wildfire spreads 'cross ('cross) steppe an' stone And hungers for more no matter what it devours It burns until the land has nothing no more This gracious and revered scarlet flower Your heartbeat answers ancient calls Its rhythm pulsin' through your veins Into a world that heaves an' sprawls In which your one true self remains You follow where you cannot lead And leave your tremblin' heart, now freed Where salt winds sweep eroded shore And stone walls rise against the gale Where echoes sound from days of yore Behind the hill, beyond the vale She moves 'cross ground like summoned from earth Her footfall strikes the silence into sound She carries in her dance ev'ry rapture, ev'ry grief Ignites the world around her with beauty so profound Your heartbeat answers ancient calls Its rhythm pulsin' through your veins Into a world that heaves an' sprawls In which your one true self remains You follow where you cannot lead And leave your trembling heart, now freed She doesn't dance for herself, but for the burden she bears For those who came before, for those becoming heirs A primal urge as old as stars that shine across the sky That stirs in ev'ry soul that lived since the start of time Yet it lifts her, drives her, makes her burn so bright The darkest feelings feed the most consuming light Your heartbeat answers ancient calls Its rhythm pulsin’ through your veins Into a world that heaves an’ sprawls In which your one true self remains You follow where you cannot lead And leave your trembling heart, now freed Your heartbeat answers ancient calls Its rhythm pulsin' through your veins Into a world that heaves an' sprawls In which your one true self remains You see her dance and find your own reflection Two fires burnin' from the same direction
