[Verse 1]

They're all around

They live in a world turned upside down

Forgotten lives, betrayed by a dream

The voice of defeat

Echoing through cold, empty streets

But no ones hears, they don't wanna know


[Pre-Chorus]

Driven by some strange power

See the anger written in their eyes

Getting ready for the final hour

The years of mistrust will never die

They never surrender thеir will to survive


[Chorus]

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in thеir hearts (Don't stop)

They will never know the future of things

Every day brings in life

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)

You could never know the pain that it brings

Keeping the spirit alive


[Verse 2]

There's no way out

They live in a world of shame and doubt

Their troubled souls are all that they know

Driven by one single voice

Hear the desperation of their sighs

They'll never surrender their will to survive


[Chorus]

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)

They will never know the future of things

Every day brings in life

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)

You could never know the pain that it brings

Keeping the spirit alive


[Post-Chorus]

In the empty streets

Of the fire


[Chorus]

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)

They will never know the future of things

Every day brings in life

Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)

You could never know the pain that it brings

Keeping the spirit alive


[Post-Chorus]

In the empty streets

Of the fire, oh, oh-oh
