Pilot Speed Midnight Fires
Our brothers waged a lonely fight, while the bottom
reaches out
Our leaders in the hall tonight try to talk this country
down
Light up the land that crowned you
Take up the call around you
We're all under the microscope searching for the fire
We've surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire
Who will see the crime in every face?
Who will face the fire then turn away
Who has spoken out,stand or be put down
Who will face the wise, and watch the system die
Someone set the hills alight with a blinding midnight
fire
A history worth of a nation's crime, lie atop this
funeral pyre
See how the world has found you
Hiding from what surrounds you
We're all under the microscope searching for the fire
We surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire
Who will see the crime in every face? (are we coming
undone?)
Who will face the fire then turn away? (are we coming
undone?)
Who has spoken out, stand or be put down
Who will face the wise, then watch the system die...
