Into the Fire

Life - thin as a thread Sometimes you're lucky Sometimes you're better off dead Your first breath is taken And into the world you are cast You long for tomorrow While living each day as your last Well, I know what your heart desires But you can't take it with you Into the fire Now you're done all you can Your life's at the crossroads You watch as it slips through your hands So you stand on the mountain And shout in vain at the sky But nobody hears you The words only echo inside Oh, shelter the flame - it may expire Risin' up from the ashes Into the fire Just hold onto your life down to the wire Oh, out from the dragon's jaws Into the fire There's a moment in every man's life When he must decide What is wrong and what's right You could wait for your dreams to come true But time has no mercy Time won't stand still for you Well, I know what your hard desires Crawlin' out from the wreckage Into the fire Here I go... into the fire I know... what your heart desires.
