The Eighth Fire Songtext
von WookieFoot

In the darkness
People hide in caves
Just enslaved
To the moon phase always
Cowering in shadows
Praying for the day
Pray for day break
Come, come sunrays
Prometheus comes and sees us in pain
Stole the fire from the Gods
Gave the humans the flame
Set the nighttime ablaze and
Now the whole world′s changed


And so their power grew and grew
Burning everything in sight
Building towers to the blue sky
Gained the flame but lost the light
You can use the fire to build a bridge
You can use the flame to burn it down
Two roads rise before us
Time to choose is now

Slow down
Don't move too fast
Listen to the voices from your past
Slow down
Choose your road
The elders all around us know
This is our time
This is our turn
Time to unite and let the eighth fire burn

Fastforward to
Living in the present tense
People all disconnect
Disregard laws
Of cause and effect
But the light reflects
With eyes looking up from the glow of the screen
See the embers still pulse and divulge what they mean
Seeking out the knowledge that the ashes keep
Now the whole world′s changed


And so their numbers grew and grew
Burning all that they could find
Gathering round the fire now
Reclaimed the flame, reclaimed the light
You can use the fire to build a bridge
You can use the flame to burn it down
Two roads rise before us
Time to choose is now

Slow down
Don't move too fast
Listen to the voices from your past
Slow down
Choose your road
The elders all around us know
This is our time
This is our turn
Time to unite and let the eighth fire burn

Come back to the fire
Every man, woman, and child
Come and sing in harmony
Come back to the fire
We're gathering together
One human family
Come back to the fire
We′re leaving Babylon behind
We′re gonna find a better way
Come back to the fire
Let today be that day
I pray

Wisdom, respect, and spirituality
Let these be the foundation of our reality
May we truely be the change the humanity
And remediate the insanity
Our passion and action is the remedy
We are all connected, there are no enemies
So grab your brave and your system
And get the fire too late

It's our choice
We get to choose it
Use our voice
Before we lose it
Talking about the planet
We′re talking about pollution
Gathering, travelling, navigating the solution
Coming with the medicine music
I believe in the power of the people in this movement
We got the fire
We know how to use it
This is our time let's do it

Light fire with fire
Don′t move too fast
Listen to the voices from your past
Light fire with fire
Choose your road
The elders all around us know
Light fire with fire
This is our time
This is our turn
Light fire with fire
Time to unite and let the eighth fire burn
