Alannah Myles - Like Flames

Something you’ve heard
Somewhere you’ve seen
To real to ignore
You’ve chosen not to believe

From the black of their pain
To the white of their fear
In the dust they die
While eden lies near

The freedom bought, changed hands, was sold
The heat of love has turned ice cold

We just can’t escape it
Flames reaching out from sun

From the garden of love, been banished to long
And the balance will change
Between the weak and the strong
Once they would beg
and then they’d plead but now they demand
Divided by those that need
And those that command

The freedom bought, changed hands, was sold
The heat of love has turned ice cold
We never learn but we know to well
Heavens’ died and it’s gone to hell

We just acn’t escape it
Flames reaching out from the sun

Now you watch,
but you should have run
like the flames that leap
from the base of the sun

And you dream you’re free but you’ll awake
Oh to much to soon, to much to late

The freedom bought, changed hands, was sold
The heat of love has turned ice cold

We never learn what we know to well
Heavens’ died and it’s gone to hell

We just can’t escape it
Like flames reaching out from the sun.
