๐ Lyrics
Well, here lies one who used to stand up to the darkness born in man
And blindly follow fate into the light
Let the fire burn a lullaby
Straight to the heart, straight through the night
A tale of teachin' man to get it right
Well, she had promised all to me, a grown woman still yet to be
With eyes as wide as Colorado plains
But souls like hers are far and rare
And don't deserve the world we share
And finally left it peaceful as she came
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows, spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
Well I didn't shed a tear, shed enough by then that year
Fertile seeds of vengeance sproutin' like a grain
My heart grew dense like ancient wood
Chokin' out the last of my good
Leavin' only murder on the brain
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
Well fate is just a word until fortune meets a patient will
And you find yourself a gun against your neck
You've seen my face, he heard me cry
And I could see he was scared to die
Till I spoke her name to the center of his deck
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows sparks to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
And blindly follow fate into the light
Let the fire burn a lullaby
Straight to the heart, straight through the night
A tale of teachin' man to get it right
Well, she had promised all to me, a grown woman still yet to be
With eyes as wide as Colorado plains
But souls like hers are far and rare
And don't deserve the world we share
And finally left it peaceful as she came
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows, spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
Well I didn't shed a tear, shed enough by then that year
Fertile seeds of vengeance sproutin' like a grain
My heart grew dense like ancient wood
Chokin' out the last of my good
Leavin' only murder on the brain
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
Well fate is just a word until fortune meets a patient will
And you find yourself a gun against your neck
You've seen my face, he heard me cry
And I could see he was scared to die
Till I spoke her name to the center of his deck
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows spark to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
City on fire, it's gettin' away
The river's dry, there ain't been rain
The wind still blows sparks to flame
Don't take the child, city on fire
