Into The Fire
Deep Purple (2nd) Lyrics

Sweet child in time
Oh innocent and uncorrupted youth, in due time you will come across a distinct separation between righteousness and evil

You'll see the line
You yourself will bear witness to the border marking the divide between what is morally sound and what is depraved

The line that's drawn between
That border which demarcates the dividing point

Good and bad
That which is commendable and that which is condemnable

See the blind man
Observe the sightless man

Shooting at the world
Firing at the universe at large

Bullets flying
Projectiles soaring through space

Ohh taking toll
Inflicting damage and loss

If you've been bad
In the event that you have acted malevolently

Oh Lord I bet you have
My guess is that you have indeed conducted yourself in an iniquitous manner

And you've not been hit
If you have managed to escape the consequences of your actions

Oh by flying lead
Through no intervention of your own, such as being struck by a bullet

You'd better close your eyes
It would be wise to shut one's eyes

Ooohhhh bow your head
Lower one's head in acquiescence

Wait for the ricochet
Preserve oneself from danger by having patience and allowing the rebound of the projectile to occur

Oooooo ooooooo ooooooo
Instrumental

Ooo, ooo ooo
Instrumental

Ooo ooo ooo
Instrumental

Aaaahh aaaahh aaaahh
Vocal exclamation

Aah I wanna hear you sing
Exclaimed desire to hear the audience sing

Mmmm taking toll
Resulting in loss and harm

Aah I gotta hear you sing
Expressed desire to hear the crowd sing

Oh..God oh no..oh God no..oh..ah..no ah
Vocal expression of anguish and surprise

AAh..oh..
Vocal exclamation

Aawaah..ohh
Vocal exclamation
