BURN
Words and music by Bob Ross and Gary Campbell
Bring on the fire
The funeral pyre
To change what we can't change
Give truth to a liar
When I'm alone at night I remember
The bitter truths of days gone by
Bring on the fire
The funeral pyre
To change what we can't change
Give truth to a liar
I stare into the eyes of darkness
And yet I see what I need to see
If you can walk and see the distance
Can't always be what you want it to be
They wanted to set fire to the world
Just to watch it burn…
Bring on the fire
The funeral pyre
To change what we can't change
Give truth to a liar
The daughter stands before her father
The flag draped box returned from war
She stands there begging for the answer
I've given it all, I've got no more
They're trying to set fire to the world
There's no rest for the wicked
Until there's nothing left to burn
Or so we've often heard...
(Spoken)
Can you believe this shit? It's not enough for them to just disagree with you, they have to burn everybody's fucking house down to show you how right they are. It's like a demented Orwellian doublethink where everything's all fire and brimstone and they call it victory. Their peace only comes when everyone else is dead. Sick bastards…
Suicide for paradise
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Never knew so many ways to die -
To burn….
They finally set fire to the world
Choking on the ashes
Of lessons they would never learn
We watched as they set fire to the world
And now we watch it burn…
I dig what you do, Bob. Smokin tune, dude.
