From the tongues of fire to the lions of Rome, the light kept getting brighter,
'Til every ember to a flame had grown, and made the darkness lighter,
The world watched and stood amazed as every evil was defied,
They told the story, though the demons raged - they were the children of the light.

Born in the fire,
Song in their tears, destined for glory,
Born in the fire,
We'll still live on to tell the story.

In a war that began of Heaven's edge, the battle-lines on Earth were drawn,
Then Jesus came to end the tyranny, to rebel against the wrong,
The world wasn't worthy to call him their own; they chose another land instead,
They heard children of a kingdom from beyond, children of a promise far ahead.

Born in the fire,
Song in their tears, destined for glory,
Born in the fire,
We'll still live on to tell the story.

Pitiful soldiers in a battle for truth, they left a legacy of fire,
Do remind us of the faithful in fight, and deeds that they inspired,
We'll raise our hands as the pass the torch along, for the battle isn't done,
Until the Son returns and banishes the night, there's still a victory to be won.

Born in the fire,
Song in their tears, destined for glory,
Born in the fire,
We'll still live on to tell the story,
Born in the fire,
Song in their tears, destined for glory,
Born in the fire,
We'll still live on to tell the story,
Born in the fire,
We'll still live on, we'll still live on,
Born in the fire,
