Fires of Hell — текст песни (Uriah Heep)

(the futility of war)



Oh, I was born your only son

And I will think of you

Before this day is done



The fires of hell surround me now

So I must fight for freedom

Against their raging guns



In all my life I never said

How much I loved you

In all this time

I never really said I cared



This war is wrong and so

I write these words

Before I give my life to the somme



In all my life I never said

How much I loved you

In all this time

I never really knew you



The fires of hell surround me, oh

The guns of hell will

Take my breath away

From my life this day

The fires of hell surround me, oh

The words I say

Must never disappear

Keep them locked inside your heart



I can hear the pipers song

And it will play for me

Before this day is done



So I will hold my head up high

If I must give my life

To stop their raging guns



Oh, I was born your only son

And I thank God for that and

That that will be done
