Somewhere here along the way, well I was lead astray
(I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid)
Come along use your timid tongue, too shy to tell your story
So in a drought learn to dance
And I forgot that life existed I thought it was just some kind of game
This pain in you so far removed from anything you've known
If all your life, you've done what's right, don't say you felt obliged
Brother be afraid of flames, oh, please brother be afraid of flames
So I won't condone another moan, not when everything is fine
And dream of smoke without fire
Though I don't know why I came today
By a wolf in no ones clothing it was a brilliant disguise
Brother be afraid of flames
And pray the dead will return
I've already laid in the flame, brother be afraid of flames
Standing still in the dust, given up on the rain
Just come see me again when it burns
And as for smoke without fire, I've already laid in the flame
That's what brings me to your doorstep
(Well, I ain't afraid of flames, I ain't afraid of flames)
