Fire Of Unknown Origin lyrics

What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see
What's that noise I'm hearing
Who's that calling me?

Long ago and far away I heard your voice
But once I heard you sing your song I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear I've finally found a way

After dark, I see you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I need you

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls! It howls like hell!

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore

Don't turn your back
Danger surrounds you
Don't turn your back
To the dogs who hound you
Don't turn your back
Don't show your profile
You'll never know
When it's your turn to go

Don't turn your back
On intuition
Don't turn your back
On superstition
Don't turn your back
To your jealous neighbor
He just might blow
And spoil the show

Don't turn your back
One chance to save her

Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway
In its Sunday best

A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away

Swept her up and off my wavelength
Swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire
So thick and grey

A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin

Into the whirlpool
Where matter vanishes
Degenerate star
Arm of orion
An iron sun
The forbidden circle
Anti-matter is the
Black horizon

Heavy metal
Black and silver
Fallen matter
Of the sun
Pours itself
Into a place
Where there was never
Never one

By starlight
The heaviest will rise up
Magnetic mirror
Scattered bodies slow
All chaos of matter
River of fire
A night sea crossing

Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy,
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street,
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls,
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat.

No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.

Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara,

There walked a lonely man
Silent, mute, the only man
Not knowing how not knowing why
Was he the sole survivor
Why should he be alive
Breathing still while others died
And the only question
Why was he the sole survivor?

Sole survivor
Cursed with second sight
Haunted savior
Cried into the night
Sole survivor
Cursed with second sight
Haunted savior
Cried into the night

See them standing in the foothills
Waiting for the kill
On wings of fear the terror sweeps
Into the city beat

To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact

On wings of vengeance
Taarna finds them
Death for barbarians

To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames

See them standing in the foothills
Waiting for the kill
On wings of fear the terror sweeps
Into the city beat

To defend
This is the pact
But when life’s scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact

On wings of vengeance
Taarna finds them
Death for barbarians

To defend
This is the pact
But when life’s scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact

Flying over the oasis
