Lyrics Steve Vai - Firewall

Lyrics by Steve Vai

"In a moment of lucidity, Captain Drake Mason was confronted with his way of thinking all about Eve."

Boom Shika-Boom Shika ba-ka-tu-ka

Rra-ka-kack Rra-ka-tu-ka pa-ka-tu-ka

It's been a while since I knew you before
Hindsight says I was so much to blame
But even then you possessed so much more
I buried my guilt under my fantasies

I never knew what it would do to you oh my God
I dealt a hand and played with fate
But I still feel, and I surrender to, your intoxicant

But I want you to really know me
But when I try to get into your space

I run into your Firewall
Medusa's home
Built out of hurt and pain

Welcome to the
Firewall
If I get too close
I will go down in flames
Eh, just look at me now
I'm on fire.

And if I could I would get down in your soul
And clean up the mess that I made.

Maybe will and grace
will replace your faith
and we can embrace

You'll never get to know me
unless you
let me touch your face

A victim of your Firewall
The devil's own
Destroy your enemies
I dance into your Firewall
When you're done, there'll be nothing left of me

Suck me into your flames, and let me burn deep down inside until I can't take it anymore.
