Faster Than Fire

(album: On The Widow's Walk - 2020)

Remember days before the fire, before the flood
When houses were filled with laughter and love
The wind, it howls like demon dogs sent from above
Birds take to the sky like they know what's to come

Oh, you can't run faster than fire
Faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives
Grab your sons and your... daughters
Whoa, and the fire line
I don't think will hold you
Whoa, mother nature's a bitch
I don't think she warned you
But she is gonna show you
Hey!

The flames ignite, spreading hell across the earth
Our lives are engulfed, no regard for their worth
Frozen hills and broken wheels are blackened by the burn
Death to the dream, there's nowhere to turn

Oh, you can't run faster than fire
Faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives
Grab your sons and your... daughters
Whoa, and the fire line
I don't think will hold you
Whoa, mother nature's a bitch
I don't think she warned you
But she is gonna show you
Hey!

It's a funeral pyre
Leaving hearts ablaze
Hoping help will come
They say it's on its way
But the fires, they rage and rise
And you can't be saved
All the work we've done
Oh, the dream it dies today

Oh, you can't run faster than fire
Faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives
Grab your sons and your... daughters
Whoa, and the fire line
I don't think will hold you
Whoa, mother nature's a bitch
I don't think she warned you
And she is gonna show you
Hey!

Remember days before the fire, before the flood
