Fight fire with fire
Was your last request,
A note on my desk
While you were under duress,
Too overstressed, too overstressed.
So I took the flame that was keeping me going,
And I held it up to the sky, the wind blowing
My mind wasn't gone, but I was surely slowing
Down to a pace that erased my deep thinking
And just at that point I knew I'd reached the brink and...
Fight fire with fire,
The embers ignite,
Together two fires
Make life seem so bright,
Make life seem so bright...
But you aren't here
And the water supply is
Low and I know that we won't make it home
If the fire, it rages
Like unread newspaper pages...
I don't know why but I'm starting to wonder
What if this fire is greater than thunder
The sound of it's crackling is making me blunder,
Dropping my heart to the ground as I ponder
Whether you're still on this planet at all!
Fight fire with fire,
The embers ignite,
Together two fires
Make life seem so bright,
Make life seem so bright...
But you are my fire
And now you are gone,
Not washed out or blown out
Or sandpapered down,
I don't know where you've gone,
But you're gone for now...
Fight fire with fire,
That's what you said,
Fight fire with fire
But fire means death,
Fire means death,
Fire means death...
And if I cannot see you
Then how can I know
That fire will do
What you say it will,
And help me get through
When life seems so dilute...
Fight fire with fire,
The embers ignite,
Together two fires
Make life seem so bright,
Make life seem so bright...
Fight fire with fire,
The embers ignite,
Together two fires
Make life seem so bright,
Make life seem so bright...
But how can a life that is empty
Be part of a greater experimental intervention,
Light greater than the sun gains too much attention,
It blinds you from darkness and makes you think maybe
Life is the greatest part of something lately...
Of something lately...
Of something lately...
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire,
Don't give up yet
Just fight fire with fire...
Build up the darkness
Then set it ablaze,
That's how I was raised,
That's how I was raised...
(And you I do praise
I just wonder today
Where you could be...
Oh where you could be...)
