Lyric:
THE FLAME WITHIN June 28/84 Karl Rigelhof
You can not extinguish the fire that is burning
You can not distinguish (the) desire that is yearning
To break free
To consume all with its flame
(And(/)to) assume its rightful place
And bring glory to its name
You can not relinquish the heat of intensity
You can not diminish the feat of immensity
To be achieved
(To) attempt (the) impossible
(To) exempt no ambition
(And) overcome every obstacle
CHORUS: (Revised - Nov. 6/90)
All your tears of sorrow
Can not quench the flame within
What will be tomorrow
Will/can not cause the flame to dim
The knowledge that you borrow
Sparks the flame to begin/
Can not dowse/smother the flame within
Everything you do only feeds the fire
Of the flame within
I look into your eyes
And they burn with the colour of blue
The hue of the heat at the centre of the flame
I look deep inside
And I learn that all you say is true
Run through defeat, you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned by the flame within
You can not deter the (ravaging) hunger (of the flame)
You/it can/does not infer it/(the savage) brings you under (without shame)
(To) look behind
(To) close the doors of the past
(To) (look) beyond the future
Where only the flame will last
CHORUS:
All your tears of sorrow
Can not quench the flame within
What will be tomorrow
Will/can not cause the flame to dim
The knowledge that you borrow
Sparks the flame to begin/
Can not dowse/smother the flame within
Everything you do only feeds the fire
Of the flame within
