Fire Escape - Vindicator

arson

a fire’s burning through our land

brother versus brother

in a struggle to command

the acid bath

that is this nation’s politics

one can not be too careful

when one can not see the tricks

our eyes wide with amazement

as they cover us in gas

setting fire to our freedom

staying silent as they laugh

can nothing stop

this dynasty

from scorching what makes

you and me

burning down

our unity

burning down

our liberty

denial’s the word

when blame’s come to call

no one is around

when to ash this burned country

will fall

how do they get away

when the smoke has cleared

and we the people see the people

who ignite our fears

starting fires seems to work

it averts attention

when the heat of the flames

grow too close

there is only one option

run for the lire escape

the lire escape

fire

we feed the unrelenting flames

emotions are the tender as we

play into their games

we can’t ignore

the smoke is thickening

the smell of burning life

is sweetly sickening

they strike the match

when we question legality

the paper trail has ended

as they burn what we could

no evidence

except the soot upon their hands

they start another fire

the flames meet their demands

Fire, run for the fire escape
