I run into the smoky pit

To fight the monster bit by bit

Its fiery rage bears down on me

But in the demon's eyes I see

The weakness that he tries to hide

Are the axe and hose at my side

So many men have answered the bell

And by him so many have fell

But I will not fear and I will not fall

I will stand up, strong and tall

And I say without a doubt

That you can send me to hell, and I'll put it out

One last thing, by the way

To my family at home I say

If death happens to win one score

Always remember my love is yours
