Fires Of Hell Lyrics - Uriah Heep

(the futility of war) 

Oh, I was born your only son 

And I will think of you 

Before this day is done 

The fires of hell surround me now 

So I must fight for freedom 

Against their raging guns 

In all my life I never said 

How much I loved you 

In all this time 

I never really said I cared 

This war is wrong and so 

I write these words 

Before I give my life to the somme 

In all my life I never said 

How much I loved you 

In all this time 

I never really knew you 

The fires of hell surround me, oh 

The guns of hell will 

Take my breath away 

From my life this day 

The fires of hell surround me, oh 

The words I say 

Must never disappear 

Keep them locked inside your heart 

I can hear the piper's song 

And it will play for me 

Before this day is done 

So I will hold my head up high 

If I must give my life 

To stop their raging guns 

Oh, I was born your only son 

And I thank God for that and 

That that will be done
