Into the fire
Frank Agnew / Tony Reflex
"Into The Fire"
A single shot then silence springs
An alarm that blew my whole world apart
Infection spread like a hornet sting
The mark of Cain on a bullet
Shot through a poisoned heart
I could feel the taste of bile come up
Then drop like fire washed with gasoline
Too much just ain't enough when bloodied hands come clean
Then we step off the land
Into the fire
Out of the pan
Into the fire
Just grab my hand
And hold on tight
I'll pull you to
The guiding light
The candle flickered, the wind it howled
The waters crashed, the ship set sail at last
I sometimes sense my brothers scowl
Was molded into a smile
By the coroner's wax
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Rosetta Stone, no laughter
In the face of mirth
No phoenix rising from the rust
From the earth to the earth
