Fire walkers feel no pain from the coals
Ruled by passion beyond their control
Vengeance is king in the zone of Red Vision
Sparks fly and tempers flair
You see the enemy everywhere
Hate shines like burning bridges in your eyes
In love and war we stand alone
Trustin' nothin' but our own, Red Vision
Anger sharpens your point of view
Fans the fire in and around you
Fahrenheit in the realm of your senses
In love and war we stand alone
Trusting nothing but our own, Red Vision
Mind like a steel trap, heart like a prison
With tears of rage, we burn in our Red Vision
Once again, I'll walk the coals
Tiptoe through the minefields of your soul
I've come to take you home
Red Vision
Red Vision
Red Vision
Red Vision
Oh, Red Vision.......
Ruled by passion beyond their control
Vengeance is king in the zone of Red Vision
Sparks fly and tempers flair
You see the enemy everywhere
Hate shines like burning bridges in your eyes
In love and war we stand alone
Trustin' nothin' but our own, Red Vision
Anger sharpens your point of view
Fans the fire in and around you
Fahrenheit in the realm of your senses
In love and war we stand alone
Trusting nothing but our own, Red Vision
Mind like a steel trap, heart like a prison
With tears of rage, we burn in our Red Vision
Once again, I'll walk the coals
Tiptoe through the minefields of your soul
I've come to take you home
Red Vision
Red Vision
Red Vision
Red Vision
Oh, Red Vision.......
