Laying Down in a Forest Fire Lyrics


Watch it burn

Celestial light

World consumed

Your back is turned

You wait and see

You will forget

The price of

Your Actions

Compromise

Humanity

You do not see

Beyond the lies

You assure yourself

Of your goodness

Your fear is loss

Of Power

Of comfort

Your bed of corpses

Your inaction is complicity

Your compromises are hollow monuments to your cowardice

Your position turns your words to ash

You mistake discomfort for hardship

The gate is down

The fire has spread

It's at your door

But you're asleep

As the world burns

You bargain and squeal

Not for the loss of life

But for yourself

The tress come down

But they're not yours

Until the flames

Lick at your skin

The problem's not yours

You're here to win

Burn

The house

The lord is out

He pretends

To care for us

His goal is wealth

He steal's for himself

He's for sale

His price is power

We're not here to bargain

All we have is hope

The stakes are high

The time is now

We've lit the flame

Your bed is alight

My bet is you'll turn

To ash before you fight

With you out the way

We'll regrow from ashes
