Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I see fire
  • Burning the trees
  • And I see fire hollowing souls
  • I see fire, blood in the breeze

Sing the opening verse

  • Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
  • Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
  • And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
firewatchshould
