Ballad of the Flaming Man
Fire, fire in the sky, raining swirling death, invisible
Soak it all in, into your skin
Don't ask why, you're too small and simple
Burn, burning inside, from your flesh right down into your soul
Makes you forget just what it stole
Don't cry, your tears will burn your cheek
Run, run, run, run away
Down to the river and dive
Run, run, run, run away
Under the water and swim
Swim
Flames are licking up and down your body, everywhere
Strip it away, the night and day
Don't speak, your words will make no sense
Run, run, run, run away
Down to the river and dive
Run, run, run, run away
Under the water and swim
Swim
Blue bodies turn in the sky
Silver balls bursting on high
Fly
Clad, clad in the crying lace of the falling firmament
Peel it all off, peel it off
Don't whisper, lest it turn to ashes
Change is coming, change, or walk into oblivion
Run from the future to the past
Don't wait, your mind is fading fast
Run, run, run, run away
Down to the river and dive
Run, run, run, run away
Under the water and swim
Swim
