Embers Remain

If sunshine fades to night

and stars fall from the sky

If peace is taken from the earth

and gold and silver lose their worth

If ashes fall like pouring rain

still the embers will remain

If there are no songs left to sing

and sweetest dreams come to nothing

If fire consumes all we hold dear

and darkness leaves us frozen with fear

If ashes fall like pouring rain

still the embers will remain

If journeys take us so far from home

that we've nowhere left to go

If emptiness fills every breath

as we walk in the shadow of death

If ashes fall like pouring rain

still the embers will remain

Come fire, come rain, come sadness and pain:

still the embers will remain

Though the world itself be burned away

yet our love will never fade

Though ashes fall like pouring rain

glowing embers will remain
