Name: Wings of Fire
Duration: P00H02M38S
Description: This version is similar to the original demo from late 2004. It took a lot of modulations to piece this one together. In the end, Wings of Fire became one of our most dramatic songs, which is interesting because it's certainly not a ballad. It captures a lot of typical Manticess features like Susanne's powerful voice, fantasy lyrics and strong melodies.

lyrics

I can feel there's a longing in my heart now
I can feel there's a riddle in the air
I can feel there's a shadow in the dark that stares
There's a shadow in the dark
I can see there's a flicker in the glow now
I can see there's a little more to say
I can see there is only one way to go
There is only one way to go
There is only one way

Rise up to the sky
On wings of fire you will fly
Rise up to the sky
Let them hear your freedom cry
And leave everything behind

I can see there's a new horizon
I can feel your hand in mine
You set my heart and my wings on fire
As we soar into the sky

We will fly to the land beyond the rainbow
We will fly over mountains high and low
We will fly because that's the only way to go
'Cause that's the only way to go
Yeah, that's the only way

Rise up to the sky
On wings of fire you will fly
Rise up to the sky
You can make it if you try
Rise up to the sky
On wings of fire you will fly
Rise up to the sky
Let them hear your freedom cry
And leave everything behind
