Cover art for Trial by Fire lyrics by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

"Back in the hills like a cat, death waits only to level the last fatal blow In the city they love, they must move very cautious, they're trapped they have no place to go. Lost in these ruins are the dreams now forgotten, and life's highest price is being paid. No one will rescue them, can't catch them falling, chance is the game that they play "

Sitting here. In a crime-ridden suburb to a western city. Sober after years of heavy drinking and I have made lots of mistakes. Wasted time on superficial trends, bad relationships and worn som many masks that I even do not really know myself any longer. I played a game of chance, lost it, and I notice that I fall and very few are there to catch a grown man from falling. Got no money in a bank account, can not get from this suburb and no one really wants to move here. Trial by fire! Remember how to stay alive!
