Chains Of Fire
Virgin Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woman of darkness and heat you can't be tamed
Everything you do just turns me on
Fatal beauty- innocence
Locked in Ecstasy..
Chains of fire
Chains of fire
I can't get enough of your sweet charms
A heated look of sensuality
Taste of heaven on your skin
Burn in love with me...
[Chorus:]
Chains of fire- I'm a prisoner of desire woman
Chains of fire- the night's alive, the dark is burning
Chains of fire- we're bound by love my wanton child
Chains of fire- burn in love with me
Chains of fire, chains of fire
Let me feel, all your warmth child
Let me in babe, oh...
Chains of fire!!
In Virgin Steele's song "Chains of Fire," the singer is captivated by a woman with "eyes of fire" and "lips of scarlet flame." He describes her as a "woman of darkness and heat" that cannot be tamed, and he is drawn to her every move. Despite her fatal beauty and sensuality, the singer finds her innocent and irresistible. He's locked in ecstasy and consumed by his desire for her. The chorus repeats the title - "Chains of Fire" - as the singer realizes that he's become a "prisoner of desire." He and his lover are bound by their burning love and a passion that consumes them both.
The lyrics beautifully portray the intense desire and attraction between two lovers. The imagery of chains of fire implies a longing for passion and a sense of being trapped and consumed by love. The words themselves highlight the irresistible nature of the woman, the singer's helplessness to resist her charms, and the intensity of their love. The song captures the idea of being completely consumed by someone, unable to break free or control one's feelings.

2:22 That acoustic stuff really reminds me of Trail Of Tears. It wouldn't surprise me if that's intentional tbh, considering we are talking about Steele here :)
