text: The sky was falling
  And streaked with blood
  I heard you calling me
  Then you disappeared into the dust
  Up the stairs, into the fire
  Yeah, up the stairs, into the fire
  I need your kiss
  But love and duty called you some place higher
  Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  You gave your love to see
  In fields of red and autumn brown
  You gave your love to me
  And lay your young body down
  Up the stairs, into the fire
  Yeah, up the stairs, into the fire
  I need you near
  But love and duty called you some place higher
  Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  It was dark, too dark to see
  You held me in the light you gave
  You lay your hand on me
  Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
  Up the stairs, into the fire
  Yeah, up the stairs, into the fire
  I need your kiss
  But love and duty called you some place higher
  Somewhere up the stairs into the fire
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love give us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love bring us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love bring us love
  May your strength give us strength
  May your faith give us faith
  May your hope give us hope
  May your love bring us love
  May your love bring us love
