The Cult

The Cult are a British rock band formed in 1983. They gained a dedicated following in Britain in the mid 1980s as a post-punk band with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine" and "Fire Woman". The band fuse a "heavy metal revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism ... of The Doors [and] the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin ... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock". Since their earliest form in Bradford during 1981, the band have had various line-ups; the longest-serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, the band's two songwriters. more »

Yeah
Oh, dig this 

Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on
Rising ever higher 
A phoenix from a pyre 
My eternal desire

I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 

Like a kiss from the lips of Ra that burns on 
The pleasures getting wilder 
Circling ever higher 
A servant of desire 

I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 

Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on
Rising ever higher 
A phoenix from a pyre 
My eternal desire

Like a kiss from the lips of Ra that burns on 
The pleasures getting wilder 
Circling ever higher 
A servant of desire 

I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire 
I'm on fire

Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on
Rising ever higher 
A phoenix from a pyre 
My eternal desire
My eternal desire
My eternal desire
My eternal desire

Fire
