Char and Cinder

Intro

Smoke on the ridge

Ash in the air

Boots in the cinder

I breathe it in there

Verse 1

Black plumes rolling like a river of coal

I can taste it on my tongue

The barn it came down in a hurricane of gold

Now the whole town's got it lung

Chorus

The smell of destruction

It's calling my name

Smell of destruction (smell it)

Fire and the flame

Smell of destruction

Gone up like a prayer

Smell of destruction (can you smell it?)

I'm breathing it there

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Can you smell it

Oh-oh-oh

Yeah you can tell it

Verse 2

Char and the iron and the blossom of red

Every spark is a drum

I walk through the wreck where the morning once bled

Till the whole world goes numb

Chorus

The smell of destruction

It's calling my name

Smell of destruction (smell it)

Fire and the flame

Smell of destruction

Gone up like a prayer

Smell of destruction (can you smell it?)

I'm breathing it there

Breakdown

Come on now

Breathe it

Breathe it

Breathe it in

Come on now

Feel it

Feel it

Feel it spin

Bridge

Up to the sky then down to the dirt

Up to the rafters then back to the earth

Up and then down like a beaten heart beat

The smell of destruction stays on my feet

Chorus

The smell of destruction

It's calling my name

Smell of destruction (smell it)

Fire and the flame

Smell of destruction

Gone up like a prayer

Smell of destruction (can you smell it?)

I'm breathing it there

Guitar Solo

Outro

I'm breathing it there

(Ooh)

Can you smell it

I'm breathing it there
