When I was a child, I heard voices Some would sing and some would scream You soon find you have few choices I learned the voices died with me When I was a child I'd sit for hours Staring into open flames Something in it had a power Could barely tear my eyes away All you have is your fire And the place you need to reach Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep them on a leash When I was 16 my senses fooled me Thought gasoline was on my clothes I knew that something would always rule me I knew this sin was mine alone All you have is your fire And the place you need to reach Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep them on a leash When I was a man I thought it ended Well I knew loves perfect ache But my peace has always depended On all the ashes in my way All you have is your fire And the place you need to reach Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep them on a leash.
