Chorus (2x) 
 
Outro:	(same as intro) 
 
 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
	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. 
         
Chorus 1: 
                                 
	Drawn by quest for fire                                     
	They searched all through the land                     
	Drawn by quest for fire                                           
	Discovery of man. 
          
Verse 2: 
                        
	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 the 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. 
         
Chorus 2: 
                                
	Drawn by quest for fire           
	They searched across the land      
	Drawn by quest for fire          
	Discovery of man.
