“Circle of Fire” by Sam Phillips appears on her 1994 album, Martinis and Bikinis.
Phillips was a Christian music singer-songwriter before she gave it up to go secular. This song is a bitter rejection of the hypocrisy she saw in many Christian religions.
I saw you standing alone
I wondered if you wanted what you owned
Your magic ladders in the sky
Tie you to the place where angels fight
In the circle of fire
Circle of fire
Our madness envy and desire
Ring you with an unforgiving fire
You love them with a burning soul
By the time he sold the ashes they were cold
In the circle of fire
Circle of fire
Fingers crying for you
Sleeping on your doorstep for the proof
We love ghosts we want to see through
The blood and bones that hide us from the truth
In the circle of fire
Circle of fire
You circle the city from the skies
Watching children swallowing your lies
It breaks you but you will never fall
You've learned that love is greater than it all
In the circle of fire
Circle of fire
Circle Of Fire was written by Sam Phillips.
