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
