Trial by Fire Songtext
von The Brandos

All night long
Papa would pray
Give me strength
For one more day
Workin' like a dog
In the dry sun
Oh, nothin' to show,
Another day done

The hellfire and misery
Of a godforsaken man
Is all Papa left to me
All the legacy I have


Trial by fire
Papa would say
The good Lord gives
And takes away
The devil's own son
He called me
All he said I was
I set out to be

The hellfire and misery
Of a godforsaken man
Is all Papa left to me
All the legacy I have

Mama broke down
The day he died
I carried him home
And closed his eyes
I showed no tears
His only son
Oh, nothin' to show
Another day done
