Apes Together - Bonfire of Humanity Lyrics

I strike my flint three times again but I can't get a spark to come
My arms are shaking my chest is tight and both my hands are numb
The wind it cackles at me as it chills me to my bones
And I seethe and curse the failure of my Firestarter stone
The night creeps in without the sun I can barely see my hands
But I can't resolve myself to freezing dead out in the sand

The dark of night is deeper than it was when I was young
And I can't remember all the chords from the songs that I'd once sung
I've been trying to make a light a beacon for the past
But a big old pile of nothing is all that I've amassed
Just like the steel that built the world I've given way to rust
You can find me here if you're looking for me buried in the Dust

I finally catch a spark but it's barely making light
A small weak flame that barely burns can't warm the endless night
I think of that old dog that I met back on the road
I think about my backpack and my meager little load
It's not enough to chase the fleeting flicker of a spark
When the strongest light you make is swallowed back up by the dark
I pile everything I own on the fire and it roars
I sit naked and I scream by that beacon on the shore

The dark of night is deeper than it was when I was young
And I can't remember all the chords from the songs that I'd once sung
I've been trying to make a light a beacon for the past
But a big old pile of nothing is all that I've amassed
Just like the steel that built the world I've given way to rust
You can find me here if you're looking for me buried in the Dust

The dark of night is deeper than it was when I was young
And I can't remember all the chords from the songs that I'd once sung
I've been trying to make a light a beacon for the past
But a big old pile of nothing is all that I've amassed
Just like the steel that built the world I've given way to rust
You can find me here if you're looking for me buried in the Dust

Yeah you can find the world dead and gone buried in the Dust
