Story Behind The Song

There's a light in the sky Burning higher and higher With a flame so bright From the Spirits on Fire

Song Description

1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.

Lyrics

Spirits on Fire (9/3/25)
Intro 2x
V1 (intro riff continues w/ kick)
X Somewhere on the curve
X You can't see the train
X It happened so quick, we were all assured
X That they felt no pain
V2 (intro riff continues w/ snare)
X Then she came home
X From where she worked 'til twelve
X They say the bullet that hit her, wasn't there for her
X It was meant for somebody else
CH
There's a light in the sky
Burning higher and higher
With a flame so bright
From the Spirits on Fire
V riff 4x regroup, little lead at end of 2 & 4
V3
X The day he met his hero
X He really meant no harm
X Just filling the void in the pit of his soul
X Through the vein in his arm
CH
There's a light in the sky
Burning higher and higher
With a flame so bright
From the Spirits on Fire


BR
X So the cold wind blows blows blows
X Like a breath on the river
X They are taken home home home
X Where they stay there forever
V riff 4x (solo part 1) / CH 4x (solo part 2)
V 4x Riff
We ask these questions
To the one above
Are there any answers
For the ones we love?
CH
There's a light in the sky
Burning higher and higher
With a flame so bright
From the Spirits on Fire
CH 8 lines as outro vox & leads going
When the cold wind blows
There's a light in the sky
Like a breath on the river
Burning higher and higher
They are taken home
With flames so bright
Where we'll always remember
From the Spirits on Fire
When the cold wind blows
There's a light in the sky
Like a breath on the river
Burning higher and higher
They are taken home
With flames so bright
From the Spirits on Fire
