Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it makes a fiery ring
And bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
And I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burn, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
Yeah, love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Note that Avi and Tim never bring their low notes at the same time. They can't; the reverb would crush the universe.

Tim: Exists
Avi: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
@HunterDavisTubaPlaying

@johndeeregreen4592
Avi is more versatile with his range... Tim sings lower, though, and can hold his own up into the lower tenor range. Together, this is absolutely amazing.
