Lord have mercy on me For all the wrong I've done And although, we both know That I should not have run I'm a desperate man With a desperate cause For reasons I shall not give Just add it on to that list you keep Of sins that I live with Are you strong enough tonight? Are you man enough to try? Are you ready to give up and say good bye? Are you more afraid to live than to die? You have one second to decide Down To The Wire Closer to the flame Down To The Wire Closer to the flame And if you get too close to the fire Then you'll only get burned again You fall Down To The Wire Spare me your sympathy I don't need it I spend more then half of my days feeling defeated I once bought a second hand bible but I didn't need it I'm a broken man, with a broken heart Preparing to pay for my crime Just like this cigarette in my head My memory will burn in time Are you strong enough tonight? Are you man enough to try? Are you ready to give up and say good bye? Are you more afraid to live than to die? You have one second to decide Down To The Wire Close to the flame Down To The Wire Closer to the flame And if you get too close to the fire Then you'll only get burned again You fall Down To The Wire Down To The Wire Closer to the flame Down To The Wire Closer to the flame And if you get too close to the fire Then you'll only get burned again Down To The Wire Down To the Wire
