Testo Fire Down Below - David Knopfler
Testo della canzone Fire Down Below (David Knopfler), tratta dall'album Songs for the Siren
Well there ain't no place of safety
No nets where I must go
But Jesus could be fishing there
We're all I know
You're in my line of vision
The wormwood in my soul
I smelt your crimson perfume
On the deep red calico
There's fire down below
Fire in the hole
You're in my blurring vision
I can't make remission
And you don't even know why you let go
Just when things can get no bleaker
Them desert winds do blow
No sacrifice was needed
But I gave everything you know
And you remain so out of reach
And you still seem so fucking beached
The worm is in your perfect peach
We'll reap what we did sow
Fire down below
Fire in the hole
And in your loveless prison
You're all my twisted rhythms
Blow low for me sweet horns of Jericho
From Jamaica through the Gulf of Mexico
Who prefers God's holy love
Who prefers his law
To a love that was so profane
You became its perfect whore
It isn't holy sanctity
That Magdalene adores
It isn't holy flesh and bone
Magdalene wants more
God knows I wish I didn't
But I miss your siren sound
Lost but not forgiven
I can't find higher ground
There's fire in the hole tonight
You remain my holy light
Jesus walked on water
But that was long ago
There's fire in the hole
Fire down below
My life destroying weakness
Only living witness
My bird in flight
There's fire down below
Fire in the hole
Fire down below
Oh my sweet soul sickness
My muse and absent mistress
My sweet delight
There's fire down below
