Oysterband - A Fire Is Burning lyrics

We were young together We were on the ball We did not believe in the writing on the wall We did our best work in the dark We did our thinking on the run We would hang together Or they'd hang us one by one Names were gone like footprints A whisper on the wind A lover was a comrade, Was a stranger, was a friend When we slept our eyes were open And this thumping in our chest Said there is no, there is no, There is no rest Because A fire is burning in our house A fire burning up the house of man A fire raging in our house Burning up the house of man We are not beginners We will not be fooled The times have been our teachers And they teach an iron rule We do our best work in the dark We do our thinking on the run We will hang together Till the longest day is done Because A fire is burning in our house A fire burning up the house of man A fire raging in our house Burning up the house of man
