The Fire Still Burns - Russ Ballard

You thought it was gone But the fire goes on And I thought you knew me I told you before 'Til I settle the score That I'll never run free I have enough pain and anger in my brain To last many lifetimes Yet still it grows, and the more that it shows I won't have peace of mind The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns I have a dream And as strange as it seems There's no embers glowing The fire's gone out and there's no need to shout 'Cause no anger's showing But it's not true, nothing I ever do Seems to ease my fury Get out of my way I'm the hangman today And the judge and jury The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns

I live a life that's surreal Where all that I feel I am learning My life is like an ever spinning wheel Fueld by a fire that's still burning And in time, it's all a sweet mystery When you shake the tree of temptation Yeah and I, I know the fear and the cost Of a paradise lost in frustration And the flame still burns It's there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life Ooh I, I want my thoughts to be heard The unspoken words of my wisdom Today as the light starts to glow Tomorrow who knows who will listen But my life has no language of love No words from above are appearing But in time, in time the fire will grow With a reason for hope and believing And the flame still burns It's there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life Oh, keep rolling, keep that flame still burning Keep on rolling while the world keeps turning Ah, keep rolling Yeah, keep rolling Ah, yeah, ooh And the flame still burns It's there in my soul, it's there in my soul And the flame still burns Yeah, it's there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then, oh yeah And the flame still burns Oh, it's there in my soul, oh, it's there in my soul And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then Oh, it lights up again in my life In my life

If you could see my mind If you really look deep in me Then you'll find That somewhere there will be a place Hidden behind my comedian face You will find somewhere there's a house And inside that house there's a room Locked in the room in the corner you see A voice is waiting for me to set it free I got the key, I got the key Voices, I hear voices In my head the voice is waiting Waiting for me to set it free I locked it inside my imagination But I'm the one who's got the combination Some people didn't like what the voice did say So I took the voice and I locked it away I got the key, I got the key Voices, I hear voices Voices, I hear voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Voices, I hear voices Voices, I hear voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Voices, voices, voices, voices Don't look back Voices, voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead (voices) Don't turn away, then the voice it said (voices) Don't look back, yesterday's gone (voices) Don't turn away, you can take it on (voices)
