Music Banter - View Single Post - searching for 80's dance/pop song by male singer with "hearts on fire" in the chorus

The song I'm looking for has "hearts on fire" in the chorus, but it's not John Cafferty or Bryan Adams or Randy Meisner or Robin Gibb, etc. I simply cannot find anything on the net. It's a fast paced dance/pop song with the for the 80s typical electronic sound. The male singer has a fairly high pitched voice, and he takes the chorus really high towards the end.

I only have a very bad tape recording left of this song - very bad because I ruined the tape by listening to it so much way back when. So unfortunately I cannot post a video/audio reference. Additionally, I'm from Germany, so my English is not perfect and it is often very hard for me to make out lyrics, especially from a poor quality audio. That said, here are some bits and pieces from the lyrics that stood out to me:

but desire will haunt you
you keep yearning (or earning?) in the night
shadow in the fire

you could be a saint or a psychopath

no one's gonna lead you by the hand
you can take the hero's stand
or you can go higher
hearts on fire

will put my name on what is mine
all in my own time

Thanks for any help!
