CHORUS
Fire and water won't you stop this slaughter will your fighting never cease
give and take for your children's sake leave us all in peace

fire walks down through the centre of town
on a bright and sunny day
he comes to a halt and there was water
standing in his way
"good day old friend it's good to see you again
I hope you're keeping well
now if you don't mind would you kindly step aside"

"fire old friend it's good to see you again
I see you're looking well
how the time flew, I haven't seen you
since the last time we were in hell
now I have to say, you are in my way
and I would like to pass
fire old friend it is you that must step aside"

there they stood, like so many times before
face to face, so strong so proud so sure

out shouts fire, "look I'm growing tired
please get out my way
I came first and for better or worse
you must do as I say
cast aside your foolish pride
or you will be destroyed
now for the last time kindly step aside"

"no says water, you will be slaughtered
for I will put you out
I came first and for better or worse
you will listen to what I shout"
then up jumps water, the fire is slaughtered
the earth cries out in pain
and the water disappears in clouds of steam

there the circle turns around again
spinning proudly causing so much pain
