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
Chorus:
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 you stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky
But nobody hears you - the words only echo inside
Chorus:
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
Time has no mercy, time won't stand still for you
Chorus:
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
