The Book of Fire lyrics

Wise men and shamans, they all added lines,

they all added drawings and spells.

Warlocks and witches, sages and signs,

there's more between heaven and hell.

Now everything is wasted,

the fables and the truth.

It's all reduced to rubble

beyond excuse.

All our race had ever learned,

ever learned 'bout life,

a legend told, dateless, old,

lost within one night.

All the magic dead and gone,

the wisdom we desire.

There was thunder and light,

it was raining all night,

but it burned with the book of fire.

Distemper and healing,

science and herbs,

collection of knowledge and charm.

Sketches and karma,

potions and rites,

instructions to fortune or harm.

Now everything is wasted,

the guidance and the hymns

and we're deaf, dumb, and blind

ever since.

All our race had ever learned,

ever learned 'bout life,

a legend told, dateless, old,

lost within one night.

All the magic dead and gone,

the wisdom we desire.

There was thunder and light,

it was raining all night,

but it burned with the book of fire. 

We cannot turn back the time.

We have to live with this disgrace and blame.

It's been all written down for us

so we don't have to do the same mistakes again.

All our race had ever learned,

ever learned 'bout life,

a legend told, dateless, old,

lost within one night.

All the magic dead and gone,

the wisdom we desire.

There was thunder and light,

it was raining all night,

but it burned with the book of fire.  

Now everything is wasted,

too late to make a change.

Our history and future

went up in flames.

All our race had ever learned,

ever learned 'bout life,

a legend told, dateless, old,

lost within one night.

All the magic dead and gone,

the wisdom we desire.

There was thunder and light,

it was raining all night,

but it burned with the book of fire.  

There was thunder and light,

it was raining all night,

but it burned with the book of fire.
