All I’ve ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands, I must not fail, I must not fail
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always
This is the proving ground
As the heat begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
Tomorrow’s in my eyes (Oh!)
Nevermore to be held down
By the ways against me
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always
I will not be denied in this final hour
I will not be denied, this day is mine
This passion inside me is burning (Is burning)
This passion inside me is burning (Is burning)
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always (always)
This fire burns (fire burns) always
Always (always)
As a fan of Killswitch Engage since the earliest days of high school, I have never heard this song. This song choked me up for a lot of reasons, missing people I cared for, missing those who have gone on, and those who have passed. I will forever be thankful for people that have come into my life. I’m 32 now, I’ve been struggling a lot these days and this song makes me want to keep fighting. From now on I will fight to keep those who care about me and who love me, I will fight for you. I will continue fighting my battle in this life. Whether I’m right or wrong, or have made good or bad decisions, I will continue to fight. This life is about making memories with people, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, we all gotta pick up the pieces and put them together again.
LGND does an amazing cover of this. Slightly heavier without compromising the integrity of the original and adding just a pinch of their own spice to it.
