Emerald Flame - 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
