paroles de chanson As the Fires Die Down - Akerman

As the fires die down
With the shadows they cast
They were urging me on
And that too didn't last

I collapse on the pavement
In what once was a town
Now just smoking remnants
As the fires die down

As the cracking dies down
And the screams turn to words
And while I distance myself
They demand to be heard

Families shouting at me
As I'm slumped on the ground
The despair lines their faces
As the crackling dies down

Look at that fire
That righteous flame
It has come upon us
To bring pride to our name

But what have i done
This feels so very wrong
It's the Middle East man
You must show them you're strong

If you they see that you're weak
They'll walk over you son
And I know this is true
But still, what have I done?

Look at that fire
That righteous flame
It has come upon us
To bring pride to our name

I awake with a sweat
As I've done for a year
I have left everything
For the shame not the fear

If you're answers are simple
It just means you're a child
Without daring to venture
To where questions reside

Conflict is liquid
Yet hard as the ground
But people are people
As the fires die down
