Heading For The Fire [Its Zero Hour]

by Jack Daniels - Virgo

I can remember when i was just a boy
I can't remember when i was a man
played with you like a toy
seemed like an empty space
life was a hollowed out dream
everything is nothing
or so it seems

now the fires burning in your soul
now why don't you believe me
see the truth in this old rock 'n' roll
who needs love when we have fate

the fog crawls around the ornate spire
skins burning as we head for the fire
no one ever needs to know
what we have done
it was a little fun

thunder ripss the night apart
is there a way into your heart
this is the end of the line
we have just run out of time

its zero hour
the curtains up
waiting on the stage
for you

well, if i'm wasting my time
i'd rather waste it with you
well' if i'm taking my time
i'd rather take it with you
well' if i'm losing my mind
i'd rather lose it with you

when will you get off the stage
love me and leave me
is all you ever do

locked away in a golden cage
all i want is to be free
from the truth
remember how it used to be
we stayed up all night
the lights came up, and we cried
you swore you loved me
to the very end of time
i know how much you lied

If it feels all right then it can't be wrong
won't you take a piece of the pie
i know that you understand
you know i need to be strong
just look me staright in my eyes
take my soul into your hands

won't see me again
i wish i could love you
though i really want you hear
it won't ever be the same
Couldn't stand the truth
the forgotten fears

now the fires burning deep within my soul
now you know i don't believe you
see the truth in this old rock 'n' roll
who needs love if we have fate

standing on this lonely spire
souls burning as i head for the fire
no one can ever know
what i have done
it was just a little fun

Its so lonely burning on the pyre
i'm so scared as we head for the fire..
