Chasing the Fire

Chasing the Fire By Peter Paul Born in world of violence Hate , Greed and Fraudulence. Wars are waged, citizens enraged Innocence erased from the book of time. The Tyrants that rule, Feed us lies with a spoon And the truth that labours inside, is constantly being denied But as wine is aged for the divine, so will truth emerge in a fiery design Chasing the fire of truth With the strength that unites our youth No more spoons to feed the lies Only coal to light the pyre As we’re Chasing the fire Their words will fall on deaf ears, as their subjects disappear Their loyalty was bought and sold, as power is measured in gold Yet for all they hold dear, they will never persevere. Chasing the fire of truth With the strength that unites our youth No more spoons to feed the lies Only coal to light the pyre As we’re Chasing the fire When the ambers diminish, and the tide subsides Peace will return and no more divides The values we harboured inside Will indoctrinate those alive Chasing the fire of truth With the strength that unites our youth No more spoons to feed the lies Only coal to light the pyre As we’re Chasing the fire
