Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Trial by Fire lyrics

Out in the street, in the meat market beat, where life strives in the heat of the night Deals are being struck and the goods are laid down, there's no one to ask if its right Lost in these depths are the youth now forgotten, and left to discover their way No one will rescue them, can't catch them falling, chance is the game that they play Suspicious of the people they meet, judgement is swift if they can't keep their feet And it's Trial by fire, the question is how to survive, trial by fire, does no one get out alive Back in the hills like a cat, d**h waits only to level the last fatal blow In the city they love, they must move very cautious, they're trapped they have no place to go Lost in these ruins are the dreams now forgotten, and life's highest price is being paid No one will rescue them, can't catch them falling, chance is the game that they play Suspicious of the people they meet, judgement is swift if they can't keep their feet And it's Trial by fire, the question is how to survive Trial by fire, does no one get out alive Trial by fire, the question is how to survive Trial by fire, does no one get out alive Goin' round the streets of Philly, leaving only blackness Lust for power, land, and wealth long lasting likeness is written in blood Suspicious of the people they meet, judgement is swift if they can't keep their feet Trial by fire, the question is how to survive Trial by fire, does no one get out alive Trial by fire, the question is how to survive Trial by fire, does no one get out alive Trial by fire, does no one get out alive
