The Fire Still Burns
words & music: D. Snider
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GONE
BUT THE FIRE GOES ON
AND I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME
I TOLD YOU BEFORE
'TIL I SETTLE THE SCORE
THAT I'LL NEVER RUN FREE
I HAVE ENOUGH PAIN AND ANGER IN MY BRIAN
TO LAST MANY LIFETIMES
YET STILL IT GROWS, AND THE MORE THAT IT SHOWS
I WON'T HAVE PEACE OF MIND
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GONE
BUT THE FIRE GOES ON
AND I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME
I TOLD YOU BEFORE
'TIL I SETTLE THE SCORE
THAT I'LL NEVER RUN FREE
I HAVE ENOUGH PAIN AND ANGER IN MY BRIAN
TO LAST MANY LIFETIMES
YET STILL IT GROWS, AND THE MORE THAT IT SHOWS
I WON'T HAVE PEACE OF MIND
THE FIRE, THE FIRE STILL BURNS
THE FIRE, THE FIRE STILL BURNS
I HAVE A DREAM
AND AS STRANGE AS IT SEEMS
THERE'S NO EMBERS GLOWING
THE FIRE'S GONE OUT
AND THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT
'CAUSE NO ANGER'S SHOWING
BUT IT'S NOT TRUE, NOTHING I EVER DO
SEEMS TO EASE MY FURY
GET OUT OF MY WAY
I'M THE HANGMAN TODAY
AND THE JUDGE AND JURY
(REPEAT CHORUS)
