Wolf of the Rapacious Herd - The Roof's on Fire

She came drifting down the road like a curl of smoke
A floating prayer barely there
With a face like a flower in the Garden of Eden before the sin
You let her in – and that was all she wrote
It seemed a perfect match in a field of dry grass
All it took was just a little scratch (here it comes)
The roof's on fire
Grab what you can carry and head for the door my friend 'cause
The roof's on fire
Now we're burning everything we touch
We wanted just a little bit but got way too much
Hear the moans coming from the sand and bones
Every answer has a million unknowns
In the middle of the night lying in the light just as bright as day
She's a blind avenger fighting from a feather
And when she burns we burn together
The roof's on fire
She seemed so pretty with her promises but now
The roof's on fire
Freedom here is freedom from fear but there's none of that now
The roof's on fire
They're out there jumping from the windows
To keep from being burned alive cause
The roof's on fire
How do you know when something's alive?
It eats and breaths and multiplies and dies
Have you ever stopped to watch a fire burn
It's doesn't ask – it doesn't learn
It goes wherever it wants and it never returns
The fire she lit was more alive than the few who survived it
Read how this one ends in flames a mile high across the sky
The roof's on fire
Everything comes with a price but you better think twice
Before you count any higher
Watch out below 'cause they're jumping from the windows
The roof's on fire
When it burns to the ground and there's no one around
Are you happy now?
Sit down
