No one can look at me now
With a face of molten rock, not the beauty I once was
No one will understand now
It's too much of a shock what a third-degree burn does
This changes everything
No more underwater dancing
No more oil to soothe the sting
This ends my days of enchanting
(All I have left is a voice to sing)
Fire, fire burning bright
Hear the wish I wish tonight
Take my Black and take my White
And kill them both with your sunlight
This is the price I had to pay for that taste of passion play
To let all evil turn away and keep misfortune well at bay
Yes I know that you were heartless
Still I would not want to hurt you
Even if there was occasion
For your agony would pass
Now I shield my face in darkness
There is no one left to turn to
But the mask of this abrasion
In a room with one-way glass
Rain, rain go away
I'm longing for a clearer day
So I can burst into flames!
Fire, fire burning bright
In the darkness, in the light
Watch me gaze into the sky
And mock its tearful imagery
