Into The Fire

Adolescents
(album: OC Confidential)

A single shot then silence springs
An alarm that blew my whole world apart
Infection spread like a hornet sting
The mark of Cain on a bullet

Shot through a poisoned heart
I could feel the taste of bile come up
Then drop like fire washed with gasoline
Too much just ain´t enough when bloodied hands come clean

Then we step off the land
Into the fire
Out of the pan
Into the fire
Just grab my hand
And hold on tight
I´ll pull you to
The guiding light

The candle flickered, the wind it howled
The waters crashed, the ship set sail at last
I sometimes sense my brothers scowl
Was molded into a smile
By the coroner´s wax
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Rosetta Stone, no laughter
In the face of mirth
No phoenix rising from the rust
From the earth to the earth
