Into The Fire
Douglas Sills & Male Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy but he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters which someone must sail
Into valleys, into waters
Into jungles, into Hell
Into darkness, into danger
Into storms that rip the night
Don't give in, don't give up but give thanks for the glorious fight!
You can tremble, you can fear it
But keep your fighting spirit alive, boys!
Let the shiver of it sting you
Fling into battle, spring to your feet, boys!
Never hold back your step for a moment
Never doubt that your courage will grow
Hold your head even higher and into the fire we go!
Are there mountains that surround us?
Are there walls that block the way?
Knock them down, strip them back, boys
And forward and into the fray!
Into terror, into valour
Charge ahead no never turn
Yes it's into the fire we fly
And the devil will burn
Someone has to face the valley
Rush in we have to rally and win, boys
When the world is saying not to
You know you've got to march on, boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Never doubt that your courage will grow
Hold your head even higher and into the fire we go!
Let the lightning strike
Let the flash of it shock you
Choke your fears away
Pull as tight as a wire
Let the fever spike
Let the force of it rock you
We will have our day sailing into the fire!
Land ho!
Someone has to face the valley
Rush in we have to rally and win, boys!
When the world is saying not to
You know you've got to march on, boys!
Never hold back your step for a moment
Look alive, oh your courage will grow
Yes it's higher and higher and into the fire we go!
Into fire!
Onward ho!
