Take Me Through The Fire

Take Me Through The Fire - Machine Head

The drum beats on as I fall in trance

Stepping 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 and callous

Empty heart is filled with malice

Cold

A blackened hole where there was once a soul

No tender mercies here

Endure and persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Fight through their ignorance

Suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

Take me through the fire

And if you lift me up then I will follow

Take me through the fire

So take me through the fire

Too many voices fill the empty void

Too many choices and were left devoid

The killing fields fill with bodies dead

The sun goes down and last rites are read

Cause even now I keep my ear to the streets

And they whisper to me your deceits

You better sleep with one eye open

Never let my name be spoken ill

Don't make me send the lions out to kill

No tender mercies here

Endure and persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Fight through their ignorance

Suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

Take me through the fire

And if you lift me up then I will follow

Take me through the fire

So take me through the fire

I will prevail

I'm stone and shale

Obsidian

Your oblivion

Becomes

No tender mercies here

Endure and persevere

Erase the obstacles that try to find me

Fight through their ignorance

Suffer my persistence

Eclipse the light that will try to blind me

Take me through the fire

And 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
