Emerald Flame
BERNARD FANNING · Civil Dusk 2016 · Track 01 of 04
Music: Bernard Fanning
Who could face this ruthless beauty A masterpiece of fading glory Through simple silhouette and shadow The bells of pardon ringing hollow You have shattered my defences Now nothing will divide us
Through sacred fields fallen fallow We build the tenements of sorrow Step into this vacant future With a hopeful Alleluia All to light the Emerald Flame beneath your brow All to light the Emerald Flame
One of these days you'll see the best of me Most nights now you wrestle with the rest of me Let me steal you for the weekend You can scatter my defences I guess if you still love me then Nothing will divide us
Through sacred fields fallen fallow We build the monument to sorrow Step into this vacant future With a desperate Alleluia All to light the Emerald Flame beneath your brow All to light the Emerald Flame
May this love, may this love be light upon you now May this love, may this love be light upon you now
Through sacred fields fallen fallow We build the tenements of sorrow Skip into this vacant future With a joyful Alleluia A song to light the Emerald Flame beneath your brow All to light the Emerald Flame
