An illusion of confusion.

I am not a torn rainbow, overcome with a droplet of fire,
neither am i smoke filled rooms of mystical thoughts,
all drenched in my own selfish desire.
Maybe I am lost in my self deluded magnificent ways? that could and seem to take only myself higher....?
all said and done, at least....I am No...cheap, heartless....or cold holding liar...
I am just...for ever more....chasing my fire.

Fire By Night, Smoke By Day

It's fire by night and smoke by day
As we lay in our beds just thinking away
We wake in the morning to do what they say
It's fire by night and it's smoke by day

The sun starts to rise and the birds start to sing
We worry about what to do, what to wear and what to bring
We make a to-do list filled with everything
Just like the summer, the winter, the fall and the spring

Fire by night, smoke by day
There's nothing left to blow it away

Our day carries on as we're stuck to the clock
A slave to the ways of the tic and the toc
We carry a key but there isn't a lock
Trying to discover what is already lost

Fire by night, smoke by day
There's nothing left to blow it away
We wait for the water to wash it away
It's fire by night, smoke by day

Our thoughts start to wander as night settles in
Engaged in a fight we're not ready to win
As we wait for a new tomorrow to begin
The fire starts burning all over again

Fire by night, smoke by day
There's nothing left to blow it away
We wait for the water to wash it away
It's fire by night, smoke by day

Liar

As a dancer she's undercover
Won the Big Don to be her lover
Had to make him tell her his secrets
About his buiseness and about his street-rats
She had to become his trustful right hand
The bureau needed the files with his brand
She really was a damn good actress
Everybody called her 'Big Don's Mistress'
Oh, it's just a show
Put on for love
How could he know
Liar, liar
Sweet desire
Liar, liar
Who are you
Liar, liar
Play with fire
Liar, liar
Learn the truth
She sent the messages to her office
The Don reckoned he will face a judas
So he told her of a damned deceiver
Secured, in her he was a strong believer
He confessed to her being sick of all this
How he suffered in the deepest abyss
But saw in her the wish for a new life
To escape from there and wake her his wife
No, not just a show
Put on for love
How could he know
Liar, liar
Sweet desire
Liar, liar
Who are you
Liar, liar
Play with fire
Liar, liar
Learn the truth
It had turned somehow
She had not seen how
Felt the bullet still flying
Straight into her heart
Tore her old world apart
Now to live on she first had to die
There's a reason to live
Now to live on she first had to die
There's a reason to give
There's a reason to give in a lie
Liar, liar
Sweet desire
Liar, liar
Who are you
Liar, liar
Play with fire
Liar, liar
You learned your truth now

What The Captain Said

They made the fire so they want it to spread
the fire, the fire, the fire
They fan the flame to the forest bed
and the flames grew
higher, and higher, and higher

Remember what the captain said by the oceanside
where we took our ride
'We want no more soldiers dead, so come see us by the fire; '
Prometheus desire, the fire
by the fire, as the flames grow higher

We lay upon our riverbed, upon the Styx
the mosh pit Styx upon the pyre
Eyes wide, quartered dry, heads to the sky
and they watch the flames grow higher, and higher,
the fire

Liar, Liar Pants On Fire

Liar, liar we see the fire
coming from your mouth each day.
The fire that burns the truth
as we struggle along our way,

the fire that inflames the heart of those
that are tired of the words you speak.
So many deceptions that come our way
day after day, week after week.

Liar, liar, pants on fire
what will it take to see you on a burning pyre?
Never a trustworthy thought do you keep.
How can you close your eyes and sleep?
It has become your way of living.
You say nothing that's worth forgiving.

For you're a liar, liar
with your pants on fire.

Heartless

Verse 1:
You tell me that you're in love with me
You tell me that I'm your destiny
Won't harm you
I gotta warn you
No trusting my face so sweet and tender
Whatever you do I won't surrender
Take me
But you can't break me
Beware of me baby ooh
Chorus:
Heartless
Protected by guardians of
Darkness
My contract with love will expire
My feelings are spoiled by desire
You can't break my heart baby ooh
Heartless
My heaven on earth it is
Starless
I used to dance on a high wire
And under my feet there was fire
Climbing higher and higher ooohh
Verse 2:
That's why I don't believe in words
I had to experience how it hurts
To struggle
In man-made trouble
So baby it's just okay to kiss you
But don't ever think my heart will miss you
Believe me
I'm just deceivin
Beware of me baby ooh
Chorus:
Heartless
Protected by guardians of
Darkness
My contract with love will expire
My feelings are spoiled by desire
You can't break my heart baby ooh
Heartless
My heaven on earth it is
Starless
I used to dance on a high wire
And under my feet there was fire
Climbing higher and higher ooohh
Heartless
My heaven on earth it is
Starless
And under my feet there was fire
Climbing higher and higher ooohh
Chorus:
Heartless
Protected by guardians of
Darkness
My contract with love will expire
My feelings are spoiled by desire
You can't break my heart baby ooh
Heartless
My heaven on earth it is
Starless
I used to dance on a high wire
And under my feet there was fire
Climbing higher and higher ooohh

Her burning desire

Her desire started a fire
I couldn't help too admire
She throw the liars too ignite the fire
Her desire lit up the whole sky
Hoping too get me by
I herd her cry's through the sky
Her burning desire lit my fire
Her quality's made me be attached
But this is no match
Our love get's us higher
I love her fire
I just could stop getting higher

Rekindled smoke

You asked for smoke,
But kindled fire
And ashes rolled beneath your feet.
But if you lived without desire
Betrayed your wrath for something higher
Then there'd be smoke without fire
And love would spring up from the heat.

Dirty old fire

Fire in my hair
Fire in my eyes
Fire between my thighs
Thank you for the fire

Fire gone and burned down my house
Fire deflowered me
Fire drew me in

Fire on the television
Fire dancing in the nude
Fire the best liar of them all
Thank you Fire

Walking Through Fire

When you set a match to your heart
Fueling it with bitterness and doubt
Thats a blaze that once it starts
No amount of tears can put out
I know youre scared
But no ones spared
When you play with matches
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Maybe youve been burned by lovers
Maybe youve been scarred by the pain
But baby Im not like the others
Drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark
Crackling in the dark
Consuming all it catches
And youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
You can see the toll its taking
You can feel the faith its shaking
You can hear the heart its breaking now
Baby Ive burned by the fever
Ive been scorched by desire
But baby Im not your deceiver
Or your eloquent liar
Your jealous heart is tearing us apart
And turning love to ashes
When youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
As the flames shoot higher
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Walking

Hearts On Fire

We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out
Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Event though the cold winds blow were burning like a flame
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts On Fire
For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy
And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near
We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The colours crimson and the Hammer is the sign
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Solo: Stefan
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire

The Fire Alarm

Fire-fire-fire! Nigher still and nigher
Seem the tones of the 'Alarum bell' borne on the air!
Awaking with a start, what a sinking of the heart
Even the strong are apt to feel, ere they are well aware!

Fire-fire-fire! Higher now and higher
Leaps the madly raging flames as the cry goes round!
In the darkness of the night what a truly awful sight
Is the burning up of homes, while we listen to the sound.

Fire-fire-fire! Behold the havoc dire!
When the black, wreathing smoke a moment clears away-
The flames both hiss and roar as the brave firemen pour
Constantly the crystal streams from Engines in full play.

Fire-fire-fire! Fresh force it does acquire!
The rising wind has sent the blaze unto the other side!
Yet men are standing round in torpor most profound;
Rouse ye up! now fall to work, and let your strength be tried!

Fire-fire-fire! Two blocks seem one vast pyre.
Oh, pity the poor houseless ones-fleeing now away!
Screen them from Winter's blast, for they are on you cast-
That sympathy in measure their losses may repay.

Fire-fire-fire! Thank God, the flames expire!
For a cold, but drenching rain most opportunely comes.
Now honor that Brigade which has such efforts made,
And don't forget your neighbors who have just lost their homes.

Cant Stop

Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
Somebody get a fireman
Somebody come along and hose me down
I think Im going crazy
She got me dancin like a clown
The d.j. plays desire
(catch a fire)
Wanna take you higher
(liar liar)
This guns for hire
Shes gonna burn my playhouse down
She said her name was venus
I think she came out of the nile
But all my friends whove seen her
Say shes not by style
The tvs showing dallas
(shrinking alice)
Down the streets of paris
(elysee palace)
I lost my balance
She turned me upside down
Yknow I cant stop I cant stop
I cant stop must be love must be love
I cant stop I cant stop
I cant stop I cant get enough cant get enough
I cant stop I cant stop
I squeeze her in a taxi
With legs up to my ears
She smiles and then she smacks me
I think shes getting pretty weird
And then she took me swimming
(I was grinning)
In the beginning
(my head was spinning)
I said you gotta be kidding
She turned and stole my heart away
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Gotta be love I cant get enough
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Gotta be love gotta be love
I cant stop I cant stop
Shes burning with desire
(Im catching fire)
I cant get no higher
(on the wire)
Call me a liar
(but Im a trier)
Yes, Im a liar
(and getting shyer)
But I think Ive gotta retire
If I survive tonight
Yknow I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Cant get enough of this funky stuff
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Must be love gotta be love
I cant stop I cant stop
Must be love

Fire And Smoke

red as searing hot
the flames of desire
fanned by yesterdays thoughts
' collected visions, relived investments '

gone realities in burned debris
beginnings born from empty arms
stirred the fire as ashes waft
warmth friction sparks blazes high

broken branches are bodies spent
gratefully torched the flame subsides
resistant coals of burnished red
reminisce the temperature of last nights fire

spent fire works lay cold and damp
fragments used now used up
burned and gone ashes now gray
in the smoke of lingering ideas

who carries the torch in today's heart?
a matchbook moment to ready the fire
restore the heat of passions desire
quell the flames that still are warm.

The Black Sea

On a ship to nowhere
On a dark and tranquil sea
Im sinking with a cargo
Of the things that cannot be
On the far horizon
The final sunsets fall
And tuesday becomes wednesday
Becomes any day at all
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened Im a liar
And Im tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things Ive tried to hide
Down the dusty roads we go
And down the leafy lanes
And down the long and winding road
The landscape stays the same
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened Im a liar
And Im tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things Ive tried to hide
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened Im a liar
And Im tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things Ive tried to hide

Fiery Love

I stare into the fire
it signifies my desire

leaping creeping and all red flames,
fire,
and its beauty hypnotizing,
fire
and its flames uprising.
sparks showering in the night,
feeding fires of lesser might,
fire feeding on life and air,
fire that lays landscapes bare,
fire that warms the heart and soul,
fire that drives away the cold,
fire thats as hot as the heat within,
fire that seeks to erase my sin,
fire promises of days to come,
fire that will unite us as one,

and then I pray for the same desire
will sometimes too ignite your fire,
two lovers burning
consumed with flames,
the ashes of their love
ignite again and again
