Life - thin as a thread Sometimes youre lucky Sometimes youre 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 cant take it with you Into the fire Now youve done all you can Your lifes 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 dragons jaws Into the fire Theres a moment in every mans life When he must decide what is wrong and whats right You could wait for your dreams to come true But time has no mercy Time wont 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
