Listen to the lies as they rise lying
Lighter than air the air up there
Cold and damp they crystallize and fall down hard like acid
To the touch and they bind
And the size of the storm is only matched by the fervor
Of the sycophants who plead for a new beginning
They’ve waited for this moment
To watch it all go down in flame
And they might just be getting their wish tonight
Stand in the edge of the fire
No need to recoil from the flame
Corroded truth burns just like coal
And innocence leaves no smoke
Watch the wind carry it away
Their ears are burning and not figuratively
All these years of fear are finally alive and they’re taking root
No water in the well they’re courting hell
And they feel no need to comply to the truth
When there’s no need to lie low
Stand in the edge of the fire
No need to recoil from the flame
Corroded truth burns just like coal
And innocence leaves no smoke
Watch the wind carry it away
Ride this cavalcade
Try to be the last to know
They walk in file on burning coal
And feel as if they’re dissidents but when you’re blind
And stay in line you’re periphery
Is nonexistent where they see unity I see the lapse in the lateral
On your guard
On my way
Stand in the edge of the fire
No need to recoil from the flame
Corroded truth burns just like coal
And innocence leaves no smoke
Watch the wind carry it away
They trust their ways and love the beat and they fantasize with their head held high in their reverie
It makes them an easy target
Finally in succor
Laden with the pride that’s flooded and bloody
Stand in the edge of the fire
No need to recoil from the flame
Corroded truth burns just like coal
And innocence leaves no smoke
Watch the wind carry it away
