Ring of Fire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day lonely day
Fading to grey
There's no getting away
So tired of lying away
Feeling my cold heart break
There's nothing more I can take
I know before morning comes
I'll do what has got to be done

I'm gonna make it right tonight
Tonight
I'm riding for vengeance
Vengeance for blood
I'm racing the engines
Vengeance for blood

For everything you have done
Your time has come
Now there's nowhere to run
You have started a war
You escaped death before
But you won't anymore
I know before morning comes
I'll do what has got to be done
I'm gonna make it right tonight
Tonight

I'm riding for vengeance
Vengeance for blood
I'm racing the engines
Vengeance for blood

It's time to make you play
There's nothing you can do
Don't you know I got nothing to lose
I been counting every hour

Till I see your face
How much longer will I have to wait!

Line by Line Meaning

Another day lonely day
It's yet another solitary day

Fading to grey
Gradually losing hope

There's no getting away
There's no escaping reality

So tired of lying away
Exhausted from being inactive

Feeling my cold heart break
Feeling heartbroken and sad

There's nothing more I can take
Can't bear it anymore

I know before morning comes
I am confident before daylight

I'll do what has got to be done
I'll do what needs to be done

I'm gonna make it right tonight
I'll make things right

I'm riding for vengeance
I'm pursuing revenge

Vengeance for blood
Getting revenge for blood shed
