lyrics
TO WAIT FOR FIRE
We had gathered here my friends
On this hill by this church spire
To speak at length of matters dire
And most of all to wait
(the hour’s getting late)
- for fire
We had heard of late of tales
That spoke of a people to the east
Who had tamed a furious beast
And from his bleeding bosom plucked
(it lay writhing in the muck)
- the fire
So we gathered up our best
(and send them on the quest)
To roam the Eastern Lands and seek
- the fire
Then beyond the hills we saw
A plume of smoke rise to the sky
And through the village rose the cry
Our boys are back and bring
(hear the children sing)
- the fire
But then our joy to horror turned
It was our men that were ablaze
Human torches in the haze
They ran towards us screaming
- FIRE
We saw their faces twist in pain
(blazed a trail across the plain)
And were swallowed by the flame
Reduced to ashes at our feet
- by fire
