Overkill - Who Tends The Fire Lyrics


Overkill Lyrics

Who Tends The Fire Lyrics
Who tends the fire?
Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fills your eyes with smoke
So you can't see?
I need the fire
I need the torches lit
To see through all the smoke
Covering me

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
I have watched the tides a-turning
And they go from dark to light

What is this meaning?
What does this writing mean?
Where do I go?
What do I do for now?
Prophecies are foolish
They never last
They never speak the truth
So why are they calling me now?

I have seen the fires burning
Burning through the night
And I have watched the tides a-turning
And they go from dark to light

I don't know 'cause I cannot see
All I'm sure is I gotta be
I'm not sure that I'm even me
But I know that I gotta be
You don't know that you're gonna die
Birth, life, death, is the reason why
Save those tears that you're gonna cry
'Cause I know that you're gonna die
Yes I know that I cannot see
And I'm sure that I gotta be
All these voices are killin' me
But they say that I got
Say that I got
Say that I gotta be me

Who tends the fire?
Who keeps the torches lit?
Who fill your eyes with smoke
So you can't see?
I need the fire
I need the torches lit to see

I have seen the fires burning
They're burning through the night
And I have watched the tide a-turning
Still the fire burning bright
