Machine Head - Take Me Through the Fire lyrics

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 k**ing 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 k** 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 And as I fight on through weary eyes I take your head as we walk through Fire Take me through the fire
