Fire Time
Slack jawed, crying to the Lord
A list of lamentations we've compiled
A dark dense pestilence
Is swarming now, the fires have arrived
Hard hit, back lit
A flash of lightning's cracking up again
And it laughs down at the dry ground
And lets the old theologies sink in
It's fire time, a foul mood
Hangs on smoke and ash
A strong wind cuts in
And asks an old flame to dance
Tinderbox, red hot
Flares and embers cross the sky
While slurry planes drop red rain
A bucket load of temperance at a time
Black winged, smoke screens
Ripple down the mountainside in waves
A torch lights, dark nights
And it's growing closer by the day
It's fire time, a foul mood
Burns our lungs and eyes
A smell clings of scorched things
That incense can't disguise
A list of lamentations we've compiled
A dark dense pestilence
Is swarming now, the fires have arrived
Hard hit, back lit
A flash of lightning's cracking up again
And it laughs down at the dry ground
And lets the old theologies sink in
It's fire time, a foul mood
Hangs on smoke and ash
A strong wind cuts in
And asks an old flame to dance
Tinderbox, red hot
Flares and embers cross the sky
While slurry planes drop red rain
A bucket load of temperance at a time
Black winged, smoke screens
Ripple down the mountainside in waves
A torch lights, dark nights
And it's growing closer by the day
It's fire time, a foul mood
Burns our lungs and eyes
A smell clings of scorched things
That incense can't disguise
