Into The Fire


Out of the frying pan

Into the fire

Just your fellow man

Mislead by desire

I can do it, I know I can

Liar liar pants on fire

Life will be better

Or it will expire

Just a little more power

You’ll set the world afire

It’s for the ones I love

A heart wrapped in barbed wire

They will live happily ever after

A gift that no one can acquire

I’m just not strong enough

The normal you, I admire

Enough is enough

You used to inspire

I’m almost at the top

You’re walking on wire

I will have control

It will backfire

All is mine

All is fire
