Truth Is Fire

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Fire born before the mountains rose

It watched the rivers carve their beds

Older than the words we chose

It burned inside the prophets' heads

Kings have tried to bury it in stone

It flickered through the ash and bone

Pre-Chorus

Some say truth is quiet

Some say truth can wait

But I have felt it move

And it does not hesitate

Chorus

Truth is fire

Burning from the start

Truth is fire

Burning in my heart

Sacred holy fire

Let it shine tonight

Through the dark cold lonely night

Post-Chorus

Burn on (burn on)

Burn on (burn on)

Verse 2

I was told to keep my mouth shut tight

To swallow smoke and call it peace

But a flame that's fed will always fight

A caged sun will find release

Truth don't kneel to any crown

Truth don't beg to stay alive

Pre-Chorus

Some say truth is gentle

Some say truth is cruel

But I have watched it rise

And it will never play the fool

Chorus

Truth is fire

Burning from the start

Truth is fire

Burning in my heart

Sacred holy fire

Let it shine tonight

Through the dark cold lonely night

Post-Chorus

Burn on (burn on)

Burn on (burn on)

Thank you for the flame I carry

Thank you for the light

Wado wado

Wado wado

Truth will burn forever more

Long after I am gone
