Love is a burning flame
And it makes the fiery rain
Bound by one desire
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I before ya like a child
Oh, let the fire burn wild

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire, let burn

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire (let it burn)

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I before ya like a child
Oh, let the fire burn wild

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

One more time

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

That ring of fire
That ring of fire

    "love is a buring flame and it makes a firery rain bound by one disire I fell into a rign of fire." Mike Ness sounds so bad ass saying that. He's the ultimate cool.

    I like this version a lot better than Johnny Cash's. Mike Ness totally makes the song sound cooler. His voice just rules.

    I love both versions (Johnny Cash's & This one). This is such an up beat song to me while Johnny Cash's version has a sadder beat for me. I love both songs
