Face The Fire Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

I hear the thunder 

Three miles away 

The island's leaking 

Into the bay 

The poison is spreading 

The demon is free 

And people are running from 

What they can't even see. 

Face the fire 

You can't turn away 

The risk grows greater 

With each passing day 

The waiting's over 

The moment has come 

To kill the fire 

And turn to the sun. 

They'll take your money 

And then take your health 

To line their pockets with 

Unequaled wealth 

These men are under 

The power of gold 

We won't be safe until we 

Shut them down cold. 

Face the fire 

You can't turn away 

The risk grows greater 

With each passing day 

The waiting's over 

The moment has come 

To kill the fire 

And turn to the sun. 

The people came to the capitol town 

One hundred thousand of them 

Laid their hearts down 

They screamed in anger 

And broadcast their fears 

Just to have them 

Fall on deaf ears.
