Into The Fire

Bryan Adams Into The Fire Lyrics
1.Heat Of The Night

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I was caught in the crossfire
Of a silent dream.
One man's nightmare
Is another man's dream.
Pull the covers up high
And pray for the mornin' light
'Cause you're livin' alone
In the heat of the night.
Met a man with a message
From the other side,
Couldn't take the pressure,
Had to leave it behind.
He said it's up to you,
You can run or you can fight, (ya, that's right)
Better leave it alone
In the heat of the night.
In the heat of the night
They'll be comin' around,
They'll be lookin' for answers,
They'll be chasin' you down.
In the heat of the night.
(Where you're gonna hide when it all comes down,
Don't look back, don't ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper
To call the tune,
Said he'd be back someday,
Said he'd back real soon.
Pull the shades down low,
You'll know when the time is right.
When you're lyin' alone
In the heat of the night.


2.Into The Fire

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Life, thin as a thread,
Sometimes you're lucky,
Sometimes you're better-off dead.
Your first breath is taken
And into the world you are cast,
You long for tomorrow
Livin' each day as your last.
Well, I know
What your heart desires,
But you can't take it with you
Into the fire.

Now you've don all you can,
Your life's at the crossroads,
You watch as it slips thru your hands.
So you stand on the mountain
And shout in vain at the sky,
But nobody hears you,
The words only echo inside.

Oh, shelter the flame,
It may expire,
Risin' up from the ashes
Into the fire.
Just hold onto your life
Down to the wire,
Oh, out form the dragon's jaws
Into the fire.
There's a moment in every man's life
Whrer he must decide
What's wrong and what's right.
You could wait
For your dreams to come true,
But time has no mercy
Time won't stand still for you.

Well, I know
What your heart desires,
Crawlin' out from the wreckage
Into the fire.

Here I go ...
Into the fire.
I know ...
What your heart desires.


3.Victim Of Love

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Livin' on your own
Can be a lonely game,
A face in the crowd,
No one knows your name.
It's a table for one
And a broken heart to go.
She's the kind of lover
That you've always dreamed
Would come to stay
And never wanna leave,
But that's all changed,
She's dealt the final blow.

Heaven knows
What you were dramin' of,
Don't blame yourself,
You're judt a victim of love.

It doesn't matter
Who was right or wrong
When the fire is over
When the magic's gone
You pick up the pieces
And do the best you can.

It knocks you down,
But you try it again,
You get a little older,
It's a cryin' shame,
Sometimes things don't work out
Like you plan.

Who's gonna help you
When you've had enough,
It ain't no secret,
You're a victim of love.
Heaven knows
What you were thinkin' of,
Don't blame yourself,
You're just a victim of love.
One good-bye
Was really all it took,
Now you thumb through the pages
Of your little black book,
But somehow all the numbers
Look the same.

You been thinkin'
How to get around it,
But there ain't nothin'
You can do about it,
Nothin' ventured,
Nothin' gained.

Ain't nothin'
You can't raise above,
Call it what you want,
But you're a victim of love.

Who's gonna help you
When you've had enough,
Ain't no secret,
You're a victim of love.

I don't wanna lose your love ...


4.Another Day

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Woke up lyin' on the floor,
Can't recall the night before,
Oh, another day.
Outside it's cold and damp,
Unemployment cheque is spent,
Oh, another day.
Some people never know
You can't just let it go
Or try to work it out some other way.
Some people never learn
My life ain't their concern
And nothing's gonna change, come what may.

Had a job, but it fell through,
Landlord says the rent is due,
Oh, another day.
They say the best in life is free,
But if you don't pay then you don't eat,
Oh, another day.
I guess I'll never know
You just can't let it go
Or try to work it out some other way.
Some people never learn
Their lives ain't my concern
And nothing's gonna change, come what may.
The grass looks greener on the other side,
But I can't get there, my hands are tied,
And if I do don't be surprised.
Oh, gotta figure it out, another day.


5.Native Son

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes,
The years have made me old, but they've made me wise,
Now the white man lives where our rivers run.
For now better days have passed,
We walk the streets of broken glass,
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun.
Like dogs we were driven from this place,
Such injustice time will not erase,
All these changes cannot be undone.
When you feel the anger inside of you,
Hold your head high, let your aim be true
Though your heart beats like a drum,
My native son.

Once there was a time, my little one,
Before the wagons, before the soldiers' guns,
When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies.
No white flag, no broken truce,
With few words one can speak the truth,
I can't hear it, time won't heal it now.
With each new day that comes to pass
Will the Great Spirit free us all at last,
He said we were the chosen ones.
For all we had there's nothin' left,
We won't forgive, we can't forget,
You know that your day will come,
My native son.
With each new day that comes to pass
Will the Great Spirit free us all at last,
What has happened can never be undone.
When I was young, not yet a man,
The sun rose and set upon our land,
We were the chosen ones,
My native son.


6.Only The Strong Survive

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

When the pressure's on and you're all alone,
Take a little ride to the danger zone.
When the moon is high and the skies are clear,
Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here.
Take me up on a wing and a prayer.
If you need a friend you know I'll be there.
Hound dogs howlin' all thru the night,
Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright.
Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow.
I feel the need for freedom, now it's time to go.
It's a fine line between pleasure and pain,
Let your conscience be your guide till we meet again.

CHORUS:
Your time has come,
You can stand or you can run,
But don't keep it all inside,
'Cause you gotta understand
That there ain't no second chance,
No one gets outa here alive.
Only the strong survive.
Tearin' it up, goin' down the track,
Gonna fly so high, I might never come back.
If things get tough, you can count me in
'Cause if you play the game, you gatta play to win.
Take me up where only angels can fly.
If you need a helpin' hand I won't pass you by.
CHORUS

Take me up on a wing and a prayer.
If you need a friend you know I'll be there.

CHORUS

Only the strong survive.
Only the strong survive.
Well, I'm doin' what I can.
And you gotta understand.
Only the strong survive.


7.Rebel

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

He made his way back to the old town
And everything looked just the same,
The shops and the schools and the factories were there,
But somehow the faces had changed.
So he went for a walk in the high street,
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves,
He thought of his father and his father before him
And how he was the first one to leave.

Well, he didn't come here for forgiveness,
There isn't a lot they can say
'Cause I remember the reasons
He first ran away.

He's a rebel, just a rebel,
Got his back to the wall,
Gonna fight till he falls,
He's a rebel.

Don't ever look back, don't surrender,
The old men say they've seen it before,
Oh, they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didn't come back from the war.
Don't say he's too young to remember,
Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right,
Just give him a chance
To go out there and fight.
He's a rebel, just a rebel,
All the battles are won,
But he's still on the run,
He's a rebel.

When it comes time for leavin',
Don't stand in my way,
There's nothin' left for me here,
Gonna run, run away.

In the mornin' he walks past the old house,
In the rain under grey northern skies,
There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate,
But there's more here than first meets the eye.

For a moment he stands undecided,
Lookin' back on the days of his youth,
As two worlds collide
In a moment of truth.


8.Remembrance Day

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

For our king and our country
And the promise of glory,
We came from Kingston and Brighton
To fight on the front line.
Just lads form the farms
And boys form the cities,
Not meant to be soldiers,
We lay in the trenches.

We'd face the fightin' with a smile
Or so we said.
If only we had known
What dangers lay ahed.

The sky turned to grey
As we went into battle,
On the fields of Europe
Young men were fallin'.

I'll be back for you someday,
It won't be long
If I just hold on
Till this bloody war is over.

CHORUS:
The guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day.
There'll be no more fightin'
On Remembrance Day.
By October of 18
Cambrai had fallen,
Soon the war would be over
And we'd be returnin'.
Don't forget me
When I'm gone far away,
Well, it won't be long
Till I'll be back there in your arms again.

One day soon, I don't know when,
You know we'll all be free.
And the bells of peace will ring again.
The time will come for you and me,
We'll be goin' home,
When this bloody war is ended.

CHORUS

On Remembrance Day.
Say a little prayer
On Remembrance Day.

Well, the guns will be silent.
There'll be no more fightin'.
Oh, we'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day.


9.Hearts On Fire

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Some other time, some other place,
We might not of been here standin' face to face.
I just wanna tell you, I made up my mind,
You know, I can't help the way I feel inside.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
Right from the start it's been burnin' for you.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
One thing, honey, this heart's true.

The streets are empty, the lights are down,
Ain't nothin' movin' this side of town,
So come on over, I ain't hard to please,
Oh baby, what you get ain't always what you need.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
It's gettin' hotter now, can't you see.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
From now on, baby, it's gonna be you and me.
Risin' to my feet
I can feel the heat,
It's tryin' to pull me under.
Runnin' through the night
We can make it right,
It's comin' on like thunder.

Some got it good, some got it bad,
But you're the best I ever had.
I never worry, you're so fine,
From now on, babe, I' m gonna be by your side.


10.Home Again

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

When I was younger,
My life was torn asunder
And I was carried far away.
Now somewhere in the distance
I feel a strange insistance,
I long to be there once again.
The day ist drawin' nearer,
The time has come to leave here,
The feelin' just keeps gettin' stronger every day.
So I pray for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true.
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through,
I'll be home again.

I can still remember
Days that never ended,
Standin' on a distant shore.
With every raindrop fallin'
I hear the thunder callin'
Like so many times before.
Sometimes in the darkness
I hear what my heart says,
Maybe one day I'll know what that feeling's for.
So I wait for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true.
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through,
I'll be home again.
When you're out there on your own
It can chill you to the bone,
There's a cold wind blowin',
But it feels good knowin'
The worst is over now,
I'm finally goin' home.

It's gettin' stronger,
Can't wait any longer.
