Liberty's Exiles: Soulfire

Hey all, Rob here. Yesterday I made a compilation of some of my favorite songs from Liberty's Exiles fairly vast back catalog. When it came to picking a song from our 8th album, "The Price of Immortality", I decided to add "Soulfire". Not only is this song one of my favorites from us, as it's very melodic, with some wonderful vocal melodies, but I just love the lyrics. 

"The Price of Immortality" is the second in a progressive rock concept trilogy of albums. Soulfire is a very important character in this story, as she is the one that drives the main character of the story, "The Chemist", to improve the world, and end the curse of immortality. The lyrics tell of how the two had once been the perfect couple, and had planned on spending the rest of their forever together. Sadly, as with most stories, love is only fleeting, and must be limited by time. I'm sure you all know that tale. 

Anyhow, I thought I'd share the song with you. For each song on the album, not only did I throw together an image for the song, but I also wrote a bit of the story to go with the lyrics. I hope you enjoy this, and maybe you'll check the song out? I would if I were you!

Liberty's Exiles: Soulfire

"As the Chemist spends his life wrapped up in his work, trying to reverse the effects of the immortality "cure", he finds his mind drifting back to her face; back to Soulfire. She had been his reason for living for so long, that it seemed the more he thought about her the more that his heart would break. If only he had listened to her and devoted his life to her, instead of the "cure", none of this would have ever happened.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, he had promised to marry her, and to leave his  role as one of the Saviors. But sometimes life doesn't work out the way we had hoped, and the Chemist would spend a very long time in a great amount of pain; both physical, and mental. He would fix his mistake... for her, for his one and only Soulfire."

With a smile that can touch your heart
And a heart that will kiss your soul
With a body that’s a work of art
And a love that will swallow you whole

She lights your day with the blink of an eye
And her face holds a world of mystery
No one can ever have her
Cause the Soulfire belongs to me

Remember when we were young
Staying up so late just talking
The conversation done
Her arm in mine just walking

And as the days grew longer
And our love grew ever stronger
I knew she had sealed my fate
I knew that she was my soul mate

And though I promised to marry her
Sometimes life doesn't work that way
And it’s a love I'll know forever
Even if I never see her face again

Happiness dies leaving only memories
The future in a shrouded pain
Only time can change these feelings
Somehow it stays the same

She's my hearts desire
My one and only Soulfire
Her love lifts me higher
My chosen one, Soulfire

She’ll have my love forever
My one and only Soulfire
A gift from heaven above
My destined one, Soulfire

Thrown into another path
One that takes me forever
And how the gods must laugh
Another price that I pay
