O'd**h - Fire On Peshtigo lyrics

O how had it filled the night with broken empty song Hold on And made the night more hideous by their squawking call Hold on, breathless air The prairie just a cloud of smoke, horizon turning red O horror, breathless air, cradled child, dead too An avalanche of coals and cinder hurled against my will Hold on, breathless air, lake on fire, land too Running with the river toward salvation in the pond Hold on Father, do you think that the end is coming near? O horror, breathless air God willed the flames we're fleeing in a panic but we're near Hold on, breathless child, lake on fire, land too Hold my arms with broken limbs The flames upon them melt with touch Boat will ground us till we're found And float beyond the state we're in Light salvation clear my lungs And fill the fields returned and lush Call the lord to cease his judgment Of our human helpless sin O how had it filled the night with broken empty song Alone Stepping on the neighbor that I once had seen as friend Alone, breathless air And robbing life of dignity to every desperate end Alone, breathless air, lake on fire, land too Walls of fire, all consuming, reaching for me in the waves Eyes upon burning slowly it's left before me charred remains And the god who pushed me in has ripped away my earthly flesh Now I'm bound for his last judgment O my lord I must confess
