Heading For The Fire

by Jack Daniels - Virgo

It's so hot tonight
When I hear your voice
Gonna give up the fight
There never was a choice

Forgotten dreams and paradise lost
In the heat of the night
Love won, Love lost, and no-matter the cost
Moving towards the light

Icy fields, Cold hearts
Nocturnal pleasure, Splits us apart

It's so cold tonight
Can you hear that sound
Starting to get bright
Running over frozen ground

The fog crawls around the ornate spire
No one ever needs to know 
What we've done
Just a little fun

God only knows what's right
As we burn on the pyre
I'll hold you tight
As we're heading for the fire

What lurks beneath the dark
Shadows gripping my soul
Leaving behind a black mark
And all those lies we were told

Good things come 
To those who wait
They say, some
people, were born to hate

Getting from this land
Sorry, tonight's our last
Can't afford to make a final stand
All our prayers cast
away

God only knows what's right
As we burn on the pyre
I'll hold you tight
As we're heading for the fire

Tyre's slip
On the sodden road
I trip
Can't carry the load

As my soul rises
I look towards the light
And away from your eyes
Burning so bright

It's so hot tonight
Can you hear my voice
Gotta give up the fight
You never had a choice

Thunder rips the night apart
Is there a way into your heart
This is the end of the line
We've just run out of time

It's zero hour
The curtain's up
Waiting on the stage
For you

I'm not scared
As i burn on the pyre
See how I faired
As I'm heading for the fire.
