Beneath The Fiery Sky

Anytime I want to know the truth I look to the writing on the wall Telling tales of what has begun Spray cans telling facts that others hide Beneath the big divides Depicting greater battles to come When assumption and certainty collide beneath the fiery sky A fabled tail becomes what's true And truth becomes whatever you want it to And when I want to understand I look between the lines Because words don't mean a thing Sweet are the sounds of the polite In a tone that sounds just right Progressive words with regressive intent When desperation and fear collide Beneath fiery sky Defending the man in charge When he's never once thought of you When smoke rises into the sky It stings, you close your eyes And then never open them again When war is declared We must fight for our lives The declaration never comes When faith and anger collide Beneath the fiery sky Blame the stranger over there When he's never even once looked you Anytime I want to know the truth I look to the writing on the wall Wondering, what have we become? What have we become?
