I’ve been thinking but I never know
I’ve been driving towards the Fire Show
I’ve been dreaming but the waking comes on slow.
You’ve been riding towards the hurricane
Think you’re going back to where we came
But you’re just going cause you’re tired of the pain.
They’ve been spouting out their master plans
Peace and slaughter must go hand in hand
But it’s peace for the masters and slaughter for all the land.
So you can’t be listening to what they say
You can’t give in to the Fire’s way
The path of the Fire is to burn it all away.
But what they never learned
Is that from turn to turn
They’ll get what they have earned
When their fires have ceased to burn
They’ve been trying hard to make you blind
Teach you tell you everything is fine
But you’ve got the feelin’ that there’s something left behind.
So run, run, run just as fast as you can
But you can’t catch me with your master plan
If you keep runnin you might stop the fall of man.
But what you never learned
Is that from turn to turn
They’ll get what they have earned
When the Fires have ceased to burn.
