Fire in the head

Speak in constant tongues

Lies and oaths that spread

From forced and emptied lungs

You breathed on to the floor

And the dark and rolling sea

On the lakes and on the shores

Will the fire beating be

I remember watching you

And the man behind your back

My apologies cut through

All the memories you lack

You breathed on to the floor

And the fire spread around

Through the sky that you adored

To the kind and aching ground

Cruelly, two and one

But all I've ever seen

Are the tongues that you've endured

And the lies that we believed

Now the enemy is gone

And the fire's in your head

And the lakes and shores are burning

And the ones we loved are dead

The witness hears the call

The judgement comes to pass

This fire in the head

Forever, it will last

Relieve yourself from this

He's not the man you know

The fire in his head

Burns both friend and foe
