about

2nd Release from the concept album "The Deal"
Clearly a track inspired by the genius of Jim Steinman.

Fires of Hell is a the point in the story where Gabriel finally accepts the hurt he has caused and the realization that he will be spending eternity in hell.

lyrics

You can't take my love 'cause it's no longer mine
You can't take my soul to sell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell

You can take my heart my hopes and my dreams
You had me right under your spell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell

Now the train of the damned closes its doors
My heart dies at the sound of the bell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell

Now the train of the damned closes its doors
my heart dies at the sound of the bell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell

I wish you good luck in all that you do
As I sit here and rot in this cell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell, fires of hell.

The album was conceived through New Zealand's lockdown in 2021, after unashamedly listening to the dramatic, over the top, work of Jim Steinman. ... more
