paroles de chanson A Fire Is Burning - Oysterband

We were young together
We were on the ball
We did not believe in the writing on the wall
We did our best work in the dark
We did our thinking on the run
We would hang together
Or they'd hang us one by one

Names were gone like footprints
A whisper on the wind
A lover was a comrade,
Was a stranger, was a friend
When we slept our eyes were open
And this thumping in our chest
Said there is no, there is no,
There is no rest
Because

A fire is burning in our house
A fire burning up the house of man
A fire raging in our house
Burning up the house of man

We are not beginners
We will not be fooled
The times have been our teachers
And they teach an iron rule
We do our best work in the dark
We do our thinking on the run
We will hang together
Till the longest day is done
Because

A fire is burning in our house
A fire burning up the house of man
A fire raging in our house
Burning up the house of man
