Quest for Fire lyrics

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth

When the land was swamp and caves were home

In an age when prize possession was fire

To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes, they came to steal their fire

And the wolves, they howled into the night

As they fought a vicious angry battle

to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by quest for fire

They searched all through the land

Drawn by quest for fire

Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away

That the flame of life had burnt and died

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger

And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts

In the search to find another fire

To regain the power of light and heat.

Drawn by quest for fire

They searched across the land

Drawn by quest for fire

Discovery of man.
