Give Me Fire
G.B.H. · Race Against Time: Clay Years [2007]
Smoke and fire are burning bright,
We'll set the tinderbox alight.
Rising from the ashes the phoenix lives,
Life and death the red flame gives.
Give me fire,
On which I feed,
Give me fire,
'Cus it's a need.
Real fine, I can tell,
Real fine really burns in hell.
Take a breath the heat surmounts,
Your mind wanders, you have your doubts.
Brain goes numb, in the heat, body glows,
You cling to your seat.
Give me fire,
On which I feed,
Give me fire,
'Cus it's a need.
Real fine, I can tell,
Real fine really burns in hell.
Give me fire!!! (x4)
It's on my head if I burn,
Sit next to me and take your turn.
Don't blame the flame by which I'm fuelled,
One day by fire we'll all be ruled.
Give me fire,
On which I feed,
Give me fire,
'Cus it's a need.
Real fine, I can tell,
Real fine really burns in hell.
Give me fire!!! (x8)
Give me fire,
On which I feed,
Give me fire,
'Cus it's a need.
Real fine, I can tell,
Real fine really burns in hell.
