Life, thin as a thread
Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're better off dead
Your first breath is taken, into the world you are cast
You long for tomorrow, living each day as your last
Well, I know what your heart desires
But you can't take it with you into the fire
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
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, 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, yeah
You could wait for your dreams to come true
Time has no mercy, time won't stand still for you, oh-oh
Well, I know what your heart desires
Crawlin' out from the wreckage into the fire
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
Here I go into the fire
I know what your heart desires
Oh
