Jar of Fire

Verse 1

Cold stone

Underneath the copper sky

Gold on my neck and the sand in my teeth

Blood on the altar

Heavy

Gold

I feel the weight

Six kings couldn't carry this burden

I walk

I wait

I watch the Nile turn black

Chorus

Dust in the lungs

Dust in the lungs

Spirit of the hawk

Spirit of the hawk

We rise from the dirt

We rise from the dirt

Drop

Dirt

Rise

Verse 2

Sharpened blades

Silver tongues and hollowed eyes

Pharaoh on the block

Listen

Listen

Listen to the tomb door shut

No air

Left

Broken sun

Salt in the wound

Buried with my pride and a jar of fire

My name is carved in the granite

Your name is gone

Chorus

Dust in the lungs

Dust in the lungs

Spirit of the hawk

Spirit of the hawk

We rise from the dirt

We rise from the dirt

Drop

Dirt

Rise

Bridge

Under the pyramid

Deep in the limestone

Lungs full of smoke

Skin like paper

I was a god

I am a ghost

I am the wind

Nothing

Nothing

Everything

Chorus

Dust in the lungs

Dust in the lungs

Spirit of the hawk

Spirit of the hawk

We rise from the dirt

We rise from the dirt

Drop

Rise

Dirt

Rise

Dust
