there will be no fire escape
no fire escape from hell
the devil oh he is after you
so you cannot run and hide
you want it you got it
you simply hold the flame
oh what is it to want
oh what is it to feel
you want it you got it
you simply hold the flame
your heart is torn
your ego is fed
and ya tend to go the wrong way
the rising rush with the sins you commit
your light will be cut off
so what I say to you and your kind
you live it up with a touch
the lustful hands
the flick of the match
the fire will burn up
you want it you got it
you simply hold the flame
oh what is it to want
oh what is it to feel
you want it you got it
you simply hold the flame
the power
the fame
the sorrow
the pain
you want it you got it
you simply hold the pain
oh what
you feel
the sorrow, the pain
you want it you got it
you simply hold the flame
you sinned you sinned
you sinned your life away
There will be no fire escape
no fire escape from hell
the devil oh he is after you
so you cannot run and hide
