[Verse 1] Two worlds collide, rival nations It's a primitive clash venting years of frustrations Bravely we hope against all hope There is so much at stake Seems our freedom's up against the ropes Does the crowd understand? Is it East versus West or man against man? Can any nation stand alone? [Chorus] In the burning Heart just about to burst There's a quest for answers an unquenchable thirst In the darkest night rising like a spire In the burning heart the unmistakable fire [Verse 2] In the warriors code there's no surrender Though his body says stop his spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul a quiet ember knows it's you against you It's the paradox that drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack it's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone [Chorus] In the burning Heart just about to burst There's a quest for answers an unquenchable thirst In the darkest night rising like a spire In the burning heart the unmistakable fire [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] In the burning Heart just about to burst There's a quest for answers an unquenchable thirst In the darkest night rising like a spire In the burning heart the unmistakable fire In the burning Heart just about to burst There's a quest for answers an unquenchable thirst In the darkest night rising like a spire In the burning heart the unmistakable fire [Outro] In the burning heart
