[Verse 1]
Sick thoughts running through your head
I guess they're back again
A new delusion stimulates the brain
And it drives you insane
Tortured souls are waiting
Such a cruel demise
But there'll always be a price to pay
To reach for the ultimate high

[Chorus]
How long can you take it?
So hot when you're playing with fire
Bow down to the master
How long can you preach to the choir?

[Verse 2]
Psychotic visions of a cruel game
I guess it's back again
A burning cross in a burning heart
That can't escape the flames
Scenes of chaos play out
Brings this nightmare to life
But once again there is a price to pay
To reach the ultimate high
[Chorus]
How long can you take it?
So hot when you're playing with fire
Bow down to the master
How long can you preach to the choir?

[Bridge]
Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Yeah!

[Chorus]
How long can you take it?
So hot when you're playing with fire
Bow down to the master
How long can you preach to the choir?

[Chorus]
How long can you take it?
So hot when you're playing with fire
Bow down to the master
How long can you preach to the choir?
