Heat Come Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've had warnings
You've seen signs
Marked by omens
In prophecy and rhyme
From a land of shadows
Where the blind must lead the blind
I heard a lion roar
One more time
Let the heat come down
Let the heat come down
Let the heat come down
Let the heat come down
Crossed forbidden wastelands
Saw lightning shock the sky
Shed the skin of innocence
No tears left to cry
Held a snake called justice
Who's truth would ever bend
Who's sword is ever swifter
As it justifies it's ends
And the heat came down
Yeah the heat come down
Let the heat come down
The heat come down
You read slogans
Glimpses of the end
Every crying sunset
Like a dying friend
High on the wire
Out on the blue
From behind the bars of madness
You see the truth
The meek inherit nothing
But clean cages in the end
Barons of religion
Want you as their friend
Sentence is delivered
The gavel slams
And another door closes
On these "empire" lands
Let the heat come down
The heat come down
The heat come down
The heat come down
