Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You are the flame that's growing deep inside

You are the blazing passion in my eyes

You are the aching shut up in my bones

You are the longing that won't let me go


Let it burn, let it burn now

From the inside out

Let it rage, let it rage now

You are the fire

You are the fire


You're all consuming, You can't be contained

Never relenting, changing everything

You are the love that overwhelms my heart

You are the fire lighting up the dark


Let it burn, let it burn now

From the inside out

Let it rage, let it rage now

You are the fire

You are the fire

[x2]


Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn

You are the fire

Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn

You are the fire

Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn

You are the fire

Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn


Let it burn, let it burn now

From the inside out

Let it rage, let it rage now

You are the fire

You are the fire

You are the fire
