Rush - Cold Fire Lyrics
It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, 'Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far'
I said, 'If love was so transcendent
She said, 'Just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are'
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles
But don't make too many demands'
I said, 'If love has these conditions
I don't understand those songs you love'
She said, 'This is not a love song
This isn't fantasyland'
Don't go too far
A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire
Don't cross the line
The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire
Don't let me down
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
Don't break the spell
The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
Love is blind if you are gentle
Love can turn to a long, cold burn...

Rush Cold Fire Comments
I think this was Rush's come back CD
Great tune
Amo😍😍😍❤
Thank you for the upload
Not their best
January 7th, 2020 is a Cold Fire.
Wow had to back that thing up for another listen. If rush is going to do a love song its gonna be real
He was MISTER Peart to us mere mortals and a true legend and pioneer. You will be missed, sir. RIP, NP
I used to listen to this song and album all the time in high school. It has a special place in my heart. RIP Neil Peart.
RIP Neal Peart
RIP Neil...thank you for so many incredible songs and your impeccable drumming...
RIP professor. Thank you for the music.
RIP Neil Peart. You were a pioneer.
RIP, Neil. You were one of the greatest.
RIP Neil, you were the greatest.
R I P Neil peart
The sound on this album is beyond amazing
I'm pretty sure this is their best album.
I love this song because it points out the hypocrisy and coldness of female nature. I'm not saying all women are like this just as men are not always the abusive selfish predatory creatures that today's feminists would have us believe.
💜👏
How many of you have wondered what these guys are singing about. When I first heard the album 'Grace under pressure'( my first encounter with Rush ) I thought it was just a good music, but when my English got better, I began to understand the lyrics and from that point everything changed. They were using metaphors and sometimes you have to even know something about literature too. That was a weird experience.
The gleam at the heart of the pawnbroker's diamond...
Between Neil and Mark Knopfler, I'm not sure which of the two is the best songrwiter in history. History of the world, because it's lyrics and not Shakespeare.
Música show!!
i'll b around if you don't let me down too far
their song are awakens my imagery .great song great band .from japan .
Another awesome track recorded at LE STUDIO Morin-Heights www.rebuildlestudio.com
Regardless of what rush album it is. . It kicks fuckin ass !!
E P I C !
Definitely a great album cover
I have never understand why this album( Counterparts ) never really got the appreciation both between my friends who were fans or others if that matters. I thought this was a solid album in any respect and maybe closest to hard rock of any of the others and not in a bad way.. just a bit different.
One of the most truthful songs about so called "LOVE" in the past 50 maybe 60 years. I'd like to think theirs someone out there for me that believes in loyalty. Above all mutual respect for each other.
RUSH.... Not a band known love songs wrote one of the best! Not a sappy piece of garbage that we here on other people's car stereos
I've been the biggest fans liers, weather coseagulls, hansom mem, arrogant fan loatsrrogant group in the band winds and Decembers,
But "FireFly" took me 40winds years four pooh, almost died Iiving firefly deep southern mean pride mean mean stride. Firefly!!! Rrick the right about what it, the maker decides if we have to ask him is it's okay with them if it's okay with him again the meaning right original idea was just an of a fan disagreement never heard but wicked as it maybe the art declaration whom means two misunderstandings collects meaning Moiety cleverneaa and bright discussion tries so
What the fuck are you on about !!! Possibly drug related !!
If you are Fire why in the hell you start a relationship with a Cold?
老若男女問わず好かれ続けるこのバンドの中で、私が一番聴き続けられてる曲がこれです。20年以上HR/HM聴いてますが、多くの先輩がファンを続けてるようにAC/DCとRushは飽きない魔力を持ってます。
👌👍
😎😎
Never hear anyone even reamber this song. It's good. Underrated. Not lime light or anything. Just good
better than limelight. so is Cut To the Chase and Leave That Thing Alone.
JUST DON'T CROSS THE FUCKIN LINE,,,!!!!
GIRLS ,,!!!
BECAUSE IT WILL BECA COLD FIRE,!!!!💪🤞🤞🤞🧡🤩😍
Was fuckin,,,there in 1994, ,
I loved that d,c
Got fuckin high as hell,,
Great seats,, I no Getty was smelling my fucking weed all night,,!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Good times with R,U,S,H,!!!
Favorite Rush song right here. Neil's amazing lyrics capture the exact dynamics of the female mind. Especially when said female is pissed off. "This is not a love song, this isn't fantasy land." That hits you like a proverbial punch in the face.
It,s was long after midnight,,,,
Is when I started to Fuck,■ her
Hard,,;;:"""🐽
It,s a warm fire in there,,,
And I feel,s fuckin,,,, great,,,🦍,, ,
So, fuck me like a beast,,,,,!!!■
♡♡♡¿¿¿¿♡♡¿¿♡♡♡
Please,,, i,ll be around,, !!
It,s just like real life,,,,
COLD,,,,FIRE,,,!!!!😥🤘🎅
Listening to my headset all nite working for a paper mill in 1993 and cold fire came on almost hourly! Miss the old times
Founding the old cd of them was a great thing <3
One of my favorite RUSH songs!!
holy fuck Rush is such a great band
Make that 53 dumb asses
I have been a Rush fan since 2112 . This is my favorite album. Definitely in there prime.
it's in their top 10 for sure. i'd put it 6/7
Counterparts is an incredible album. Many great songs.
Melhor banda de todos os tempos em mais uma inesquecível obra.
Closest Rush ever came to a love song, if you can call it that. And it kicks ass. This, as with most Rush songs, is when you want to open the windows, put the stereo on max., and hope no fuddy dud neighbors call the cops.
47 dumb asses did a thumbs down. What the fuck?
Owl mine :%
As an artist I wonder if musicians take volunteer efforts for granted..
This was remaster like this:
1. Obtain good file.
2.Put it through software, my ears
🎧3. 're cord my track
4. Proof it
,5. Burn it
RUSH HAS NOTHING B TO DO WITH THIS REISSUE
🙌
"big! thumb up!" :-)
Sem palavras........
It's like stereo is black and white
Digital is colour
Yup
These are my remaster eq settings
Listen to that snare!!!!
And the bass
I'm the best ever
Except most brutes think this is it
Truth is that the CD is in 6.1
Gotcha there,....
Maybe this song should have closed out the album. Although, I am warming up to "Everyday Glory."
Cold fire.... Game of thrones spoiler!!!
This has to be the one of the most underrated rush songs.
yeah, but fuck your profile picture
magnificent guitar solo!!!
Neil Pert = BEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME. Rush has ALWAYS BEEN. Rather listen to their "old" music then the garbage they play in the current day.
Sung Yul Taylor - they even named a shampoo after him
THE FLAME AT THE HEART OF A PAWNBROKERS DIAMOND IS A COLD FIREE
Lyrics: Coal fire
Such a coal fire
It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far
I said if love was so transcendent
I don't understand these boundaries
She said just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
Too far
It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles
She said sure I'll be your partner
But don't make too many demands
I said if love has these conditions
I don't understand those songs you love
She said this is not a love song
This isn't fantasy-land
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
Too far
Don't go too far
The phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea
Is a coal fire
Bro, you ever read the title of the track?
one of the best love songs EVUR, seriously (and i hate love songs in music), not sweet, full of fear, love is love, hard and painful yet full of hope
Geddy Lee é um Deus!
who are the 23 idiots
who are the 22 idiots
"The flame at the heart of a pawn broker's diamond is a cold fire... The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire"
Neil's lyric writing is right up there with his drumming. THAT, boys and girls, is how you write lyrics!
drumdtheredrumdthat
don't cross the line......
Totally agree, I have been saying that for years!!
just like the band underrated great song great band. Who else has this much hot souse. Rush has so many great songs that are not played on the radio its nuts. US RUSH fans know how great these 3 Canucks are
#RUSH/GODS
Wasn't too keen on this song when I was thirteen. Thought the lyrics were a bit ridiculous. Now that I'm older I understand the weight they carry.
Cold Fire uma das músicas mais linda do RUSH
Sem dúvidas
100% certo! E ainda lembro quando essa musica surgiu -em meio a outras que tornaram-se clássicas - no rádio no ano de 1992 ou 93 !!!
A condução mais foda que já ouvi.
Such an underrated album! Always loved this track. A great tune that perfectly nails relationships. The ebb and flow of emotion. Calm at 0:47, but then almost "bitchy" by that 1:37 build-up of guitar, echoing her response... just, wow! Smart writing, great grooves... Rush is such a perfect band.
Correct! And you wouldn't expect that from a Rush album.
A masterpiece as is the whole album. Alex Lifeson is an unsung hero (u damn right mike k !!!)...
what beautiful guitar work on this song!! I know the word AMAZING is overused these days but its truly deserving here. the solo is magnificent. such an underrated master guitar player this guy is
these lyrics are just wise
I love this album...rush makes awesome's ballads
so as to say that a sparkle never fades
drums man wawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

If you ever fall in love with a Virgo, this is your go to song. It describes the way we approach love.
+Lori Wells even for an Ophiuchus?
If that's what you consider yourself...why not?
+Lori Wells virgo's are the most romantic.
You approach it the same way everyone else does, since astrology is bullshit...
Dzięki Ci o Pani.
Piękny utwór, czyż nie?
Don't go too far.
Don't cross the line.
Don't let me down.
Don't break the spell.
Love is blind when you are gentle.
Love can turn to long, cold burn.
That's not true love in a relationship, that's a list of demands, but unfortunately, it happens so often.
This is not a love song, this isn't fantasy lad
As músicas da banda rush são encantadas na minha opinião uma das melhores.
amazing drums once again
rushhhhhh
Una de las mejores canciones de RUSH para mi, muy, muy buena....
Neil's lyrics are pure poetry. I get the shivers when I hear this.
Me too!! Especially when It's playing and I step out of the shower in front of my vanity mirror!
He is a poet along with some drummer skills:P
It's an amazing lyric. Truthful, adult, compassionate. It's always stuck with me. RIP.
Lembrei daquele beijo...
No other band has given me more listening pleasure, as a drummer myself Neil peart has always been the golden standard to aspire to. Getty lee's pure truthfull vocals are miles ahead of 99% of everyone else. And no one can match " the big kahuna" on the gitfiddle.
@Ruatha58 The lyrics are always meaningful and thy could carry out the hole song, but then there are the three men who are one of the best at their branch. I love Rush.
+marksman cs √
I think you will find its Geddy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome at the height of grunge
Really? The exact same thing happened to me... me and my girlfriend broke up a little while ago, and then I heard this song, which described my relationship greatly.
My favorite Rush song is this one. I always have to hear it multiple times. :)
I love how in the chorus the things that are a "cold fire" become more and more literal. At first you're like "how the hell does this relate to relationships?" and then "ohhhh..."
I love when music makes you double-take and want to listen to it closer :D
4 people didn't see the flame at the heart of the pawnbroker's diamond
I wish there was a thousand "like' button for this comment. :)
This is that song on Counterparts that reminds you, even though much of what you have been listening to has been grunge-flavored (minus the vocals), this is still a Rush album to the core. The timing is perfect. Counterparts is one of the most underrated albums in Rush's discography, and it's freakin' great.
samboy1288 totally agree, criminally underrated
Grunge my bollocks !!!!!!
Underrated by who? It's probably my favourite as a whole.
This album is grunge like Rush is a string quartet.
