about

This is a strong, dark song about people both misinterpret and utilise religion and its message to justify heinous acts. A case study use in this track was the Christian Movement, the KKK.
Its a song that investigates the fallibility and susceptibility of the malleable human pyche

LYRICS:

Intro: [Start Strum Section 1]

Heaven knows we’re on fire again
They dip their head in the river and say
“I can’t breathe cause there is no way”
It’s sad to see they’re in the wrong again
…So you say

Father knew I’d find my feet again
Said it from the very start to end
Don’t remember feeling this far away
I try to live by the feeling you get

[Start Strumming Section2]
Let him know what the siren sold
We’re heading for a very darkened soul
There’s fire at your feet L.A
Their climbing walls of their fears and lows

[Back to Strum Section 1]
Let him know we’re on fire again – are we
Depending on the heathens?
Atteroll and Vicodin
Dreary eyed and bathed in - sin

Oh the serpent calls … Inside you all

[Start Strum Section 3]
May you all on fire atone
Bury you all in the seeds you’ve sewn
I’ll Have you lying on the fire and say
“Save my soul cause I see I’m not right again” <Hold on again>

And The fire engulfs, light fire and see, what have we done? Have we set them free?
Ooooh

[Start Strum Section 4]
Crowd gathers outside their home
With Rope and timber to save their soul
Their sin is in their difference
To be released by man’s scaffold

Crowds gathered outside again
Burning crosses to save their souls
Their colour skin’s too different
So they hung the black man by gods scaffold
