Fire | City of Pines

There's a Fire
In the hills beyond town
See the smoke as it rises
Casting Shadows of doubt,
It's clouding their vision,
Between wrong and right
Blazing sonnets, under moonlit skies

I saw the flames
They leapt higher and high
Light up the hillside
Against the cold dark night
The battle it raged
Between man and fire
Faded silhouettes
In this final hour, in this final hour

There's a panic
Spreading cross town
It's in their eyes
Underneath furled brows
Scattered memories
All their hopes and dreams
Packed into boxes
As they up and leave

I saw the flames
They leapt higher and high
Light up the hillside
Against the cold dark night
The battle it raged
Between man and fire
Faded silhouettes
In this final hour, in this final hour

We'll let the smoke rise
No more compromise
We'll fan the flames
As the winds blow
And the flames grow
It's not the same, it's not the same
