the roar of the fire
Lyrics
[church bells intro, with crackling fire in the background]
First verse
The first flame is to get them running
far away, to escape this place
The second flame is cruel and cunning
Burn the shame of your disgrace
Chorus
Hear the roar of the fire
Feel the heat upon my face
Flames climbing ever higher
Only ashes leave this place
Verse 2
Smoke is rising, thick and black
Choking on the lies they stack
Judgement day, orange and red
Burns them down for what they said
Verse 3
Whispers turn to screams out loud
Crown of fools upon thy brow
Strike the match shaky hands
Illusion built on shifting sand
Verse 4
Third flame comes to set me free
It consumes that part of me
That's held me back from who I be
Phoenix rise for all to see
Bridge
Accusations thrown like stones
Should've left this one alone
Ash to ash, dust to dust
In the flames I place my trust
Pre-chorus
Eyes burn from acrid smoke
No more laughing, no more jokes
What you built on shifting sand
crumbled and fallen through your hands
Chorus
Hear the roar of the fire
Feel the heat upon my face
Flames climbing ever higher
Only ashes leave this place
Verse 5
Fourth flame is secrets sold
Stories and lies they all have told
Melts the mask right off your face
Leaves you scorched and held in place
Verse 6
They drown like rats on sinking ships
Hot prayers burn from lying lips
But fire don't give a single fuck
It chars the meat to match your luck
Chorus
Hear the roar of the fire
Feel the heat upon my face
Flames are climbing ever higher (climbing ever higher)
Only ashes, leave this place
Verse 7
Now the blaze is in my veins
Hot enough to break these chains
What they took, I now reclaim
Put some respect upon my name
Second bridge
Motherfuckers watch and learn
Up from the ashes I return
Phoenix risen debt is paid
You're the dragon done been slain
2nd Chorus
When you hear that fire roar (hear the roar of the fire)
Hotter than it was before (feel the heat upon my face)
Them flames crawl on, ever up (flames climbing ever higher)
Fire still don't give no fucks (only ashes)
Outro
Now to dust become your fate
Only ashes leave this place
