Dancing in the Ashes
Dancing in the Ashes: Unveiling a World Aflame
Lyrics
I see it coming back around
I foresee a recurring cycle approaching
I see it coming all down
I foresee a comprehensive downfall
I see the future is red
I perceive the future to be filled with conflict and chaos
I see the innocent are laying dead
I observe that the innocent are casualties of the turmoil
I hear the warlords pray
I hear warlords offering prayers
They cover the dead where they're laying
They conceal the deceased where they lie
Until the battle is won, the war has just begun
Despite a battle seeming won, a larger war has just commenced
Burning like a hell, goddamn
Intense and destructive, akin to hell
It's just a different time and another kind of Vietnam
It's a distinct era, reminiscent of another Vietnam
Burning fire, we are going to burn in the fire
A metaphorical fire that will consume us
We're gonna burn it high
We're going to experience a significant burning
Can you hear all the lies
Awareness of the falsehoods spoken
That try to cover their cries
Attempts to conceal the suffering through lies
The hell is more real than the television can make it feel
The harsh reality is more vivid than portrayed on television
Keep the war machine fed
Sustain the war machine, keep it operational
Try cover your head
Seek protection by covering your head
Just think of God as a gun
Consider God as a weapon
This is the freedom that you've won
This is the freedom achieved through conflict
The skyline is glowing
The cityscape is illuminated
And the fire is growing
The fire is intensifying
This is the world that we live in
Describing the current world state
The only gift is that we're giving in
The only thing we are contributing is surrendering
Blind by the flashes
Blinded by sudden bursts of light
Now we're dancing in the ashes
We are now joyously participating in the aftermath
Singing God is a gun
Singing that God is a powerful force
This is the freedom that you've won
This is the freedom earned through conflict
