[Intro]
Heatwave on the desert sands, hot as a frying pan
No shelter from the blazing sun, just trying to make a stand
[Verse 1]
Summer's burning down in Iraq, a Marine's hardest test
Deer Paul under the scorching sun, feeling like he's less
Sunburn creeping all around, his skin on fire bright
Even his little bush was scorched, terrible the sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain so deep he couldn't hide, cried out loud "Oh my God!"
They rushed him back into base, seeking aloe and cream
But little did he know, the worst was yet to come
When his fiancée arrived, with a look so numb
[Chorus]
Fire down below, fire down below
Oh, his bush was burning, felt the heat and glow
Fire down below, fire down below
In the Iraqi desert, feeling the pain so bold
[Verse 2]
Shea the nurse, his love, came with ointments and care
But Paul’s screams filled the air, was more than despair
"My bush is on fire," he cried, "call for a fire truck!"
His fiancée with a worried eye, caught in a clutch
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked up and then he sighed, "May I have another nurse?"
Promised not to do stupid, but pain’s a wicked curse
His words hung in the air, a bizarre and tragic scene
A love in trouble, caught between the pain and the mean
[Chorus]
Fire down below, fire down below
Oh, his bush was burning, felt the heat and glow
Fire down below, fire down below
In the Iraqi desert, feeling the pain so bold
[Bridge]
Love and pain collide in this unforgiving land
A firefight of feelings, trying to understand
The doctor looked with pity, knowing what’s at stake
In the desert sun, love’s fire could break
[Outro]
Oh, the heat may fade, but memories stay bright
Of the summer day, when love ignited a fight
Fire on the sands, an odd tale to see
In the Iraqi desert, where love’s insanity
[End]
