Lyrics by: Geoff Tate



Born into darkness in Saturn's sight

Riding the night like the wind

Ripping the heart form a world that is right

Treading the borders of sin.



Child of fire

The souls that are damned

By the pain that you bring

Send you higher



Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing

To the ends of the earth you will fly

Conquering masses in wanton deception

Blood-red your black flag waves high



Child of fire

The souls that are damned

By the pain that you bring

Send you higher



Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen

The pain, the misery in us all

What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too

And together build another way, to the morning

Or will it ever come again

You've poisoned all our hopes

We have nothing now, and what of the children

What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain

That they must feel



The last hero standing no time to turn back

He's listening, he waits for your call

The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same

For one only waiting to fall



Child of fire

The souls that are damned

By the pain that you bring

Send you higher
