[intro] Red sky over stone and vineyard rows Ash like winter where the hot wind blows Sirens carve through the shattered dawn By noon the familiar world is gone [verse] From Spain to France the hills ignite Olive groves vanish in a single night Windows glow with a fevered flame Every road out calls your name Suitcases shake in trembling hands Smoke devours the borderlands [pre-chorus] Children sleep with their shoes still on Dogs pull hard when the light is wrong Prayer and panic in every breath Running the edge of a living death [chorus] Fire, fire, eating up the sky Hundreds of thousands leave and don’t ask why Homes turn to embers, towns turn to dust We carry our names and the things we trust Fire, fire, out of all control A red tide rising through the soul Save who we can, hold on through the night Love is the last unburned light [verse] Helicopters fade in waves of heat Boots sink deep where sparks and pine needles meet Firefighters face a beast unchained Blackened fields under an orange rain Officials speak with a breaking voice Stay alive now, there is no choice [pre-chorus] Church bells drown in the engine scream Maps mean nothing to a moving dream Street by street the darkness grows Nobody knows where the next wind blows [chorus] Fire, fire, eating up the sky Hundreds of thousands leave and don’t ask why Homes turn to embers, towns turn to dust We carry our names and the things we trust Fire, fire, out of all control A red tide rising through the soul Save who we can, hold on through the night Love is the last unburned light [bridge] And if the morning finds these hills in gray We will count the ones who got away With ash on our lips and ruin below We plant our hope where nothing grows [outro] Red sky over the broken plain A whisper of home in the soot and rain Though the flames make ghosts of all in sight Love is the last unburned light
