A thousand fires burn out of control
|
And no one's ever there
|
To see them
|
We're dyin of thirst our voice is lost
|
From all this screaming
|
I came down in a lonely state
|
And now everyone is leaving
|
Our souls so charred beyond recognition
|
And I'm trying to find the reason
|
Yeah
|
|
There's a widow at my front door
|
She said she heard that I was freezin
|
They said she's done time
|
But no one said she's done time for treason
|
They say she don't take anything from anyone
|
Which ain't worth giving
|
I say I don't give anything to anyone which ain't worth stealing
|
Yeah
|
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to watch
|
Have you come to ridicule
|
|
Everything's gotten so far out of hand
|
There's not much that we could do
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
|
The city is falling apart
|
And the clouds and the earth have started bleeding
|
You just stand around like you don't understand
|
What it is you're seeing
|
Time stands still like a broken clock
|
When our life is so deceiving
|
You got close once before
|
And now you're only dreaming
|
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to die
|
Did you come to be ridiculed
|
|
Everyone's gotten so bent out of shape
|
There's not much that we can do
|
Hey you
|
Have you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
|
I ain't waiting for the proof
|
And I ain't waiting for the future
|
I've seen too many signs now
|
And everyone was wrong
|
I'm just waking up the truth
|
And I ain't waiting round for you
|
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to watch
|
Did you come to ridicule
|
|
Everything's gotten so far out of hand
|
They say there's not much that we could do
|
Hey you
|
Did you come to fight
|
Have you come to the rescue
|
Yeah
|
