Lyrics

[P. wagner/p. wagner]

[With every new record we've got some songs leftover. "ashes" is from october '88 and was written during the sessions for "secrets..."]

Have you ever heard 'bout the people who burned
Somehow immediately down with no reason at all
They didn't play with fire, they had no deathwish and it
Happened in a few minutes, it destroyed them completely

Just like dr. bentley, when they found him there was no smoke
Nor a spell but the ceiling was burned
They found his right leg and the morning gown
It was still intact but the doctor had gone

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. they found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain
Noone would believe it

It's a phenomenon that's not often been seen
Like an inner heat burns the body complete
This is still a riddle that cuts us down to size
We are still quite helpless in our modern days

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. they found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain
Noone would believe it

There was nothing left. they found only ashes on the ground
In this cdase it seems that our rules are not worth a dime

No way to run and hide
The flames come from inside
