08 Through The Fire
Larry Greene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will take it to the wire now
Until every race is run
I'll go straight into the fire now
Until every day is done
Voices say, break away
Live the night as if each moment
Was the only one
Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher
Through the fire
There's a feeling that I can't ignore
Like a stranger at my door
So revealing that I cannot hide
When you settle up the score
Voices say, night and day
Live your life as if each second
Was the final one
Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher
I look for signs that you are here tonight
When the passion calls the pleasure to the flame
Then I ask you of the meaning when you talk of love
Would you take the leap of faith?
Would you throw it all away?
Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher
Through the fire
To the wire




When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart

R.I.P. LARRY L.A. GREENE, the singer on this tune... I was a drummer who was in many bands in L.A. with him in the 80s - he will be missed. 12/26/22

@vlatkojelkic9751

Awesome singer. I was very sad when I've heard about his passing. Harlan Cage is a top aor band, Fortune also, they did a great record this year..

@BrunoeAOR

😢 Larry was one of the best singers in the aor, his style of voice was recognizable as soon as we heard and his bands fortune and harlan cage were fabulous, rest his soul 🙏

@matteoromenghi

Pure '80's!

@thisredbrick2002

@@Mig_V Other way around.

@Mig_V
