Life - thin as a thread Sometimes you're lucky Sometimes you're better off dead
Your first breath is taken and in to 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've done all you can Your life's at the crossroads You watch as it slips through your hands
So 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 on to 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 heart desires Crawlin' out from the wreckage Into the fire
Here I go...into the fire I know...what your heart desires
