Lyrics
There's a warning sign
Flashing red
Dangerous curves
On the road ahead
In a troubled time
You turn from the suffering
But the truth is a fire
That burns up everything
Well you tried to get free
Put it all out of your mind
Left the keys in the back door
And walked down the fine line
In your worried mind
Darkness was gathering
'Cause the truth is a fire
That burns up everything
There's a price to pay
When the truth comes around
And the smoke is rising
Ain't no stopping it now
And my weary soul
You left it there smoldering
The truth is a fire
That burns up everything
