Fire in the Sky Lyrics by John Butler

0

Fire in the sky, outta the blue and into the red depths
Time for you and I to try to fall asleep in the bed they've made us
All came crumblin' down tears in her eyes as it rained confusion
The whole world has changed
I don't understand
How one can kill a man
In the name of peace
That's ridiculous
They say eye for an eye so they fire in the sky and they come outta nowhere
Time for you and I to turn on the big screen see what's happenin'
And as those children die pawns in the game of collateral damage
The whole world goes mad
Standing here on quick sand
The more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope
At least that's what we think
At least that's what we think, coz
As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
We sort nothing out
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides
Death is justified
Whatever the name
Then we're all to blame
So as the spirits fly
To honour those who've past
We've got to get along
While the time still lasts
Bury the hatchet deep
So we all can weep
And heal all this pain
So, so we can live again
So, so we can live again coz
As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
We sort nothing out
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides
Death is justified
Whatever the name
Then we're all to blame
I don't understand
How one can kill a man
In the name of peace
That's ridiculous
But I understand
That I will defend
My family from
Both sides of misery
