Fire On Water

Fire on water, two hundred years
no time to remember, history disappears
and we must let go of our illusions, I fear
fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water
Fire on water, we swallow it down
distant thunder, no one heard a sound
and before too long, we may never be found
fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water
Fire on water, backs to the wall
like the tower of babel, empires will fall
while we turn away and pretend it's not happening at all
fire on water
Fire on water, behind the eyes
we try to remember, they say the time is nigh
but we'd never know for all the bullshit and lies
fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water
Fire, Fire, Fire on water

In The Dirt
05:14

I don't believe in heaven
I believe in a sun so old
I don't believe that Jesus died for you and I
I don't believe the story that's been told
Oh I believe in blood, flowing like red wine
like only a man could
I don't believe in a golden age
I don't believe a war can be won
I don't believe the world was made for you and I
evolving and revolving round the sun
Oh I believe in blood, flowing like red wine
like only a man could
I'll believe what I've heard
I'll believe what I've seen
buried in the dirt
carbon fourteen
I don't believe in heaven
I believe in a sun so old
I don't believe that Jesus died for you and I
I don't believe the story that's been told
Oh I believe in blood, flowing like red wine
like only a man could
I'll believe what I've heard
I'll believe what I've seen
buried in the dirt
carbon fourteen

White Soul Black Heart
06:39

Lately I've been getting caught up in my memory,
when dreams and a restless kind of vanity,
was all I'd need to keep open hearted.
But now to get back to the boy,
find some peace and sanity,
I must try to get back to where it started.
And you won't see me in the crowd,
I get nervous when it gets too loud,
and I start to feel like I should have departed.
And don't you talk down to me,
tell me how it's supposed to be,
I won't receive it.
And if you try to put me down,
I'll be sure to stand my ground,
you better believe it.
Lately I've been getting caught up in my memory,
when dreams and a restless kind of vanity,
was all I'd need to keep open hearted.
But now to get back to the boy,
find some peace and sanity,
I must try to get back to where it started.

Natural World
03:33
|
|||
|
In the city all you need is money
and there are fortunes to be found
for those in a hurry
worn out with worry
No seed to be found in concrete and steel
No peace to be found while you're chained to the wheel
I'm going back to the natural world
Take me back to the natural world
Going down by the river, feel the sun on my shoulder
like a weary foot soldier, when the war is over
For I must dig much deeper, now our time is growing shorter
for I'm my brother's keeper, it was he who brought me water
In the city you can be somebody
a man about town, as long as you've got money
there's no need to worry
Plastic hearts, powders and pills
plastic cards, to pay for cheap thrills
I'm going back to the natural world
Take me back to the natural world

Two Worlds Two Hands
04:32
|
|||
|
Over red stone, red sands
shackles and in chains
fear in the whites of his eyes
Black crooked trees
boiling blood in the veins
under a desert sky
Two worlds, two hands
setting of the sun
tomorrow they'd lay low in the light
On the run
before the day had come
a gun shot in the night
Over dry bone, dry land
Blood under the sun
bodies bent and broken on the ground
In the limestone he'd hide
with women by his side
never to be found
Two worlds, two hands
coming of the sun
blinded by the light in their eyes
Black crooked trees
boiling blood in the veins
under a desert sky

Follow Me Down
03:41
|
|||
|
I heard an echo down the hall
we were dancing in the rain
I saw a shadow on the wall
call me back again
The blood from my face
the colour from my day
fade into grace
you come my way
if you follow me down
I heard a whisper in the night
rumours in the wind
the moon was riding high
the tide was coming in
The blood from my face
the colour from my day
fade into grace
you come my way
if you follow me down

In The Final Hour
04:19
|
|||
|
Through the fields so dry,
the vineyards and farms,
and the trees so high,
we pray for rain on hallowed ground.
Beneath the January moon,
hoping that the rain would come soon,
we wait and pass the pipe around.
On the hill where time stood still,
you could see the lights from the city,
a symbol of illusion and power,
but to the old man in the valley,
it did not look so pretty,
from his old wooden tower.
In the final hour,
we raise our heads to the sun.
And the colours bled into one,
in the final hour.
In a land of fallen dreams,
all the way down through the valleys and streams,
where river once had run,
in a time when the people of the land,
long before they died at the hand,
of white man, white law, white gun.
On the hill where time stood still,
you could see the lights from the city,
a symbol of illusion and power,
but to the old man in the valley,
it did not look so pretty,
from his old wooden tower.
In the final hour,
we raise our heads to the sun.
And the colours bled into one,
in the final hour.

The Boat That We Built
03:48
|
|||
|
The boat that we built
long ago it set sail
on a wild wild sea
over the horizon
falling and rising
like a memory
I went down to the water
under clouds of alabaster
where the wind and the rain
wash me clean
but now rust and decay
is all that remains to be seen
Drifting forevermore
So far away from the shore
No cargo to carry anymore
Bathed in blue light
no harbour in sight
fade into the night
The boat that we built
long ago it set sail
on a wild, wild sea
over the horizon
falling and rising
like a memory

If I Only Could
02:34
|
|||
|
If I only could
turn back the tide
then I surely would
in my neighbourhood
If the devil came down
turned out the sun
turned day into night
on everyone
Is it only then
we'd appreciate the sun
the sun?
If I only could
turn back the tide
then I surely would
in my neighbourhood
Don't be afraid of the storm
for it brings rain to the fields at dawn
and we will reap what we have sown
in the sun
