Gallows on Fire

Black smoke is rising covering the sky It's mesmerizing, a blessing in disguise I taste the poison, on my lover's lips Time now seems frozen, as ash covers the eclipse Flames are taking us higher Can you feel the fire Torches high ablaze We have a civilization to raze Life is going too fast What will you inspire Like memories of the past Set the gallows on fire Life is going too fast What will you inspire Like memories of the past Set the gallows on fire Dust storm is flowing, the wind that pushes through Flames keep on growing, circles 'round me and you What lies ahead of me, as if I should know I won't be there to see, I enter the inferno Hold on tight to the ropes Keep together your hopes Standing high on this mound I feel what's waiting beneath the ground Life is going too fast What will you inspire Like memories of the past Set the gallows on fire I feel my life slip away Dragged down and called a liar Never dreamt of this day Set the gallows on fire Bury my ashes with those who fought to the end Turn up the heat the gallows will not bend Soldiers of fortune, honor, and glory Down below forever in the fire's fury
