Lyrics

Fire Of Heaven / Altar Of Earth

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.

[verse 1]

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion

Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion

Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway

Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made

Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane

Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine

False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain

Babylon's buildings raise like flames

Drowning in their champagne

Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade

Soul stain blowing up

In your own domain

Fire crackers ohh and aah

But they never maintain

[bridge]

Fires burning

Flames are dancing

Don't burn the house down Lord

Heavenly fire only resides on an alter made from the ground

[chorus]

Fire descends on high in the shape of a lion

Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion

[repeat 2x]

[verse 2]

One pair of eyes

But see two different things

One person cries but the other one sings

You walk around like everybody owes ya something

Take what you got, thank G-d for all that life brings

The poor man has it all but not content with anything

While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a kind

[bridge]

[verse 3]

Backpack's geting heavey, moving at a steady pace

Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist

Making way, run in haste

There is no time to taste what you ate

WE should be grateful got a plateful

Fire burns like ice morcels falling fire like rain

[chorus]

You should be more subtle

You could keep your hustle

Keep your laugh and shuffle

Flashing muscle, brass knuckle

Bust your bubble, goin pop

Take of the muzzle

Hate to ruffle feathers

Makin brothers struggle

Through the rough old concrete jungle

Briskan brussells step and shuffle

Stumble into trouble

Spirit rumble in the temple

Mumble nothing

Your should be more humble

In the continental all your bluff

You're puffin smoke, it's fundamental

In this ocean you're a pebble
