Fight Fire With Fire Lyrics

Do unto others, as they have done unto you
But what the hell is this world coming to

Blow the universe, into nothingness
Nuclear warfare, shall lay us to rest

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear

We all shall die

Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
Armageddon is here, like said in the past

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear

Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear

Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire, fight!

Not only is this a great song, it conveys the feelings towards nuclear war and the fears society has of it.

I don't know about you but the solos in this song are some of the greatest... even if they're not that long, they still sound great.

They get stuck in my head so much ... they also sound "classical" in some weird way.

The biblical sense of "retibutive justice" could be the catalyst that causes a nuclear holocaust.

Along with "One", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "Disposable Heroes" is yet another anti-war song... basically questioning the whole attitude of nuclear build up... the attitude where if we have more nukes then them, they won't dare use theirs...

Metalickah:

the only mebers that ever took drugs were Dave and cliff.

Dave got kicked out of the band for it

@puppetmaster Not true Kirk smoked pot and if you consider alcohol a drug (which it is) then the whole band has done drugs..
