lyrics

The Flame
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,

Bust at the seams
look how he bleeds on the floor
A shadow of what
He used to mean to us all 
Dusted in dreams
That fade a bit more each day
The crowd only gather
For moment he breaks.

He used to walk this earth with ownership
But every king one day feels their crown slip

He says life is a fairground and fame was my ride
I got thrown from the carriage and left down there to die
So easy to lose it and so hard to retain
Your reason for being, your passion, your flame

Chasing the highs
That left him decades ago
The world had moved on
It does not want to know
Singing the tunes
That paid for decadent years
The words that you write
For the God that you fear
There's no looking back
When you've got nowhere to go
Just shut up and sing
Give the people their show

Now he walks the earth with tired eyes
Every day's another sacrifice

And he says life is a snake pit there's just one way out
When you get this high you can only come down
So easy to lose it and so hard to retain
Your reason for being, the passion, the flame

The Flame
