People say things get me excited
Then I cry out in the heat of the battle
Seems like eveything's coming at me

Maybe I shouldn't have said that
Step back think about what you said
It may come back to haunt you when your dead

In the heat of the battle.

The mountain is crying the earth is on fire

I'm in the middle someone's crossed the wire
I'm better off in the next world for my sanity.
Thank your lucky stars you can still remember your name.

Step back think about what you said
It may come back to haunt you when your dead
In the heat of the battle.


Now it's time to go. I can't stay here
Too much confusion I'm too rattled

The moon told the sun he's leaving
Scorching words in the heat of the battle
Step back think about what you said

It may come back to haunt you when your dead
In the heat of the battle.
