The Fire
Stan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a burnin' thing

And it makes a fiery ring

I was bound by wild desire

I fell into a ring of fire


I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down, down, down, and the flames got higher

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire

The ring of fire, the ring of fire



I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down, down, down, and the flames got higher

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire

The ring of fire, the ring of fire



The taste of love is sweet

When hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Oh, but the fire went wild



I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down, down, down, and the flames got higher

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire

The ring of fire, the ring of fire



Yes, it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire





The ring of fire, the ring of fire
