I was caught between
The fire and a liar Father and son Flame took the truth Reached the sun and Burned us all down Turned this house around Took its heel and ground This family to dirt To dust Took away trust Where do we go When dirt and dust settle Hear the lies prattle Clang in the place Where love lived Where do we go now Where did it go |
