Now between the Devil
And the deep blue sea
No rest for you
And no peace for me
You stand your ground
With the powers that be
Don’t flee under fire for
All to see
You walk through wind and you break through bones
Look for a place that you call your own
You once were king, but now you’re beat
Long past the time to concede defeat
Well I walk through fire
I walk through flame
The city burns
While it says my name
It feels like war now
It feels like heat
The time has come
To claim the streets
Keep keep keep keeping on
Keep keep keep keep keep keeping on I keep
Keep keep keep keeping on
Keep keep keep keep keep keeping on I keep
Now the fire it rests with me
Gold destructor for all to see
I break the windows, I burn the lines
Lay waste the spires and I wind back time
Start it over, to start a new
Salvation comes but far from you
Oh I walk through fire
I walk through flame
The city burns
While it says my name
It feels like war now
Feel the heat
The time has come
To reclaim the streets
I walk through fire
Oh I walk through flame
Oh I walk through fire
And you said my name
Oh you say my name
Oh you say my name
Oh you say my name
Oh you say my name
