One More Time
An Old Firefighter’s Request

One more time
One more time into the dragon’s lair
One more time through to the bowels of hell
One more time
Just one more time

One more time
One more time to feel the dragon’s breath
One more time to fight the Devil on his terms
One more time
Just one more time

One more time
One more time to go where mortal men fear
One more time to feel the rush
One more time
Just one more time

One more time
One more time one more good save
One more time a frightened life to rescue
One more time
Just one more time

One more time
One more time Lord
One more time before my time comes
One more time
Just one more time
