Playing with Fire Lyrics

Long ago when I was just a boy

I made a fire in the woods - as if it were a toy

Soon the flame grew tall and engulfed the tree in front of me

Well that fire quickly spread

Play with fire and you will be burned

Ignite the light - the devil knows what's true

The flame was put out before it destroyed too much

It ate the forest, boy, i've had enough

My conscience could not bear the guilt of what I had done

Kneeling over a charred stump

I cried for the life that had been lost

I played with fire and saw just what it cost

So as the story goes on...

I've learned through great pain what a fire can do

Looking through the embers for a sign perhaps a clue

Dance with danger

And it'll lay some purpose into you

Ignite the light - the devils watching you

Play with fire and you will be burned

Ignite the light the devil knows what's true, what's true...

I cried for the life that had been lost

I played with fire and saw just what it cost, what it cost...

It'll lay some purpose into you

Ignite the light the devils watching you
