Berlin's, "Like Flames"
Misheard Lyrics:
What heathen lies here?
Original Lyrics:
while Eden lies near
"In the dust they die" is the line before this. Which made my brain originally think people lying here instead of, well, Eden lying near. This is an incredibly unrelated song in my opinion! Surprised it isn't on amiright since Take My Breath Away is so much. Hope this mondegreen changes that!
