live for today
for tomorrow we awaken
and start to repair
you've let us stray
a twisting of a history
discover what you've made:
a fear run ideology
a three-step iconography
a ghost a flame and a fool

there's a fire breaking out
somewhere on the horizon
burning down the ivory towns
where we were born
to be believers

pray as you may
your words are lost words
and all your saving angels
have flown away
time and time again
you break before you start to bend
deceived into believing
you'll be winning at the end
the game is gone
for you my friend

there's a fire breaking out
somewhere on the horizon
burning down the ivory towns
where we were born
to be believers

look to the teacher
the teacher is gone
lessons remembered
on cave walls are drawn
your vision of heaven
descends in the haze
take my hand and we'll set the night ablaze
