lyrics

Dark night
With the stars up above
No clouds
But a song in his head
Two lights
There's a car up ahead
Who's there

Fire's bright
You've been charged with crimes to the kin
Fire's bright
Bastardizing nature's a sin
Fire's bright
Black outside and blacker within
Fire's bright
Ready boy atone for your...

Fire's bright
As she sits lost in thought
Sweat Droplets
Try and remember what he taught you
Don't cry
Don't let them see you bat an eye
It's your time

Tear it down
It's all gonna fall anyway
See what happens
When you steal our lives away
Burn it down
I don't care what pastor would say
Cause I cant breathe

The broken glass sparkles
Snow flurries in summer
I might know a mason
If you could find a potter
I wanna watch the flames turn asphalt into butter
I used to be on the other side
But they're killing all our brothers

Big yawn
It's her first day of school
Her mama's proud
As she ties up her new shoes
She's a big girl
Walks to the bus all by herself
Walks to her favorite tree
Then a scream and cry for help

Cause in her favorite tree
Swings a brown body
And there's somebody else
Says don't you scream or else
But then her daddy shows up
And then her brother shows up
But then the cops show up

The broken glass sparkles
Snow flurries is summer
I might know a mason
If you could find a potter
I wanna watch the flames turn asphalt into butter
I used to be on the other side
But they're killing all our brothers
