Machine Head - Take Me Through The Fire lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

The drum beats on as I fall in trance

Walking away from the endless dance

My enemies in the endless abyss

The snakes slithering out of the mist

No subtleties, truth is all that I ask

No pleasantries, you can take off that mask

This world has left me bruised & callous

Empty heart is filled with malice; cold

A blackened hole where there was once a soul

(Pre-Chorus)

No tender mercies here, endure & persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Blinded by ignorance, suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

(Chorus)

Take me through the fire!

& if you lift me up then I will follow!

Take me through the fire!

So take me through the fire!

(Verse 2)

2 many voices fill the empty void

2 many choices & were left devoid

The killing fields fill with bodies dead

The sun goes down & last rites are read

Cuz even now I keep my ear to the streets

& they whisper to me your deceit

You better sleep with one eye open

Never let my name be spoken ill

Don't make me send the lions out to kill

(Pre-Chorus)

No tender mercies here, endure & persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Blinded by ignorance, suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

(Chorus)

Take me through the fire!

& if you lift me up then I will follow!

Take me through the fire!

So take me through the fire!

(Guitar solo)

(Bridge)

I will prevail

Of stone and shale

Obsidian, yo oblivion

Becomes...

(Pre-Chorus)

No tender mercies here, endure & persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Blinded by ignorance, suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

(Chorus)

Take me through the fire

& if you lift me up then I will follow

Take me through the fire

So take me through the fire

Fire - take me through the fire!

Take me through the fire!

Take me through the fire!
