Faster Than Fire - The White Buffalo

Remember days before the fire, before the flood

When houses were filled with laughter and love

The wind it howls like demon dogs sent from above

Birds take to the sky like they know what’s to come

Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water

Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters

Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you

Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you

But she is gonna show you, hey!

The flames ignite, spreading hell across the earth

Our lives are engulfed, no regard for their worth

Homes and hills and broken wills are blackened by the burn

Death to the dream, there’s nowhere to turn

Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water

Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters

Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you

Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you

But she is gonna show you, hey!

It’s a funeral pyre, bleeding hearts ablaze

Hoping help will come, they say it’s on its way

But the fires, they rage and rise and you can’t be saved

All the work we’ve done, oh, the dream it dies today

Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water

Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters

Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you

Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you

But she is gonna show you, hey!

Remember days before the fire, before the flood
