[Intro]
C Em Dm F Am G C G
[Verse 1]
C Em
In a boat upon the river floating slowly in the distance
Dm F
I could see a resting figure and it bore a strange resemblance
Am G
To a man I knew so well, was this warrior who fell
C G
My brother dear
C Em
As I looked upon his face, I saw a fighter proud and strong
Dm F
And I could not detect a trace that showed a soldier who went wrong
Am G
I’m sure he gave his life defending in a battle with the ending
C G
Drawing near
[Verse 2]
C Em
In a cave behind a waterfall, a stranger on a mission
Dm F
To a fiery mountain told me all, I sat there and I listened
Am G
And I heard about his quest, now I know my brother rests
C G
With conscience clear
C Em
There were nine when they first started on a journey filled with danger
Dm F
They were strong and so brave-hearted as they crossed the hills and ranges
Am G
To the mountain of upheaval, so to make the ring of evil
C G
Disappear
[Chorus 1]
Am G
There’s a fire burning in the mountain walls
Dm F E7
Drop the ring into the flames and we’ll be free
Am G
There’s a fire burning and the ash will fall
Dm F E7
On the lord of darkness and his tyranny
[Instrumental over narration]
C Em
There were visions that came over many nights
Dm F
Of a broken sword and a bright western light
Am G
And the winds of change may come at last
C G
With a crownless king down through ages past
[Verse 3]
C Em
In my father’s tall white tower, I can sense a certain sadness
Dm F
Growing slowly by the hour and it surely leads to madness
Am G
And I wonder what he’ll do, will he destroy all that he knew
C G
Throughout the years
C Em
There’s a loss that leads to sorrow for a son that’s dead and gone
Dm F
And what if I were hurt tomorrow, would my father carry on
Am G
Or would his seeing-stone obsession fuel the fires of depression
C G
And of fear
[Chorus 2]
Am G
There’s a fire burning in his destiny
Dm F E7
No escape, his ears are deaf, his eyes are blind
Am G
There’s a fire burning and it seems to me
Dm F E7
Madness takes control and hope is left behind
[Outro]
Am G Dm F E7
There’s a fire burning… there’s a fire burning
Am G Dm F E7
There’s a fire burning… there’s a fire burning
Am G Dm F E7
