Grant Watson - Fires in Heaven Lyrics

Look at the tracer lines
Dividing the countryside
Ribbons of shooting stars
That split the evening skies

Remember our wedding night
The songs from the village choir
They watched us make our vows
They wrote our names in flowers

Now I can see the cities burn
And there's a red line on
The tip of the Earth
And the ashes rise up
Like fire flies
And they carry on the breeze
For miles

If I look into the smoke
Filled sky
Well there's a flickering
Repeating light
Like a signal that is
Breaking up
From a disintegrating
Satellite

And I can see the fires
(Above the pylon's wires)
I can see fires
(Above the stadium lights)
I can see fires
(No time to stop and say)
Fires in heaven
(Goodbye)
Fires in heaven

Look at the trees outside
Tall bones in the torches' light
People in hooded robes
Carrying hammers and ropes

The night we built this house
We buried poems in the ground
They blessed our figurines
They washed our hands and feet

Now I can see the cities burn
And there's a red line on
The tip of the earth
And the ashes rise up
Like fire flies
And they carry on the breeze
For miles

If I look into the smoke
Filled sky
Well there's a flickering
Repeating light
Like a signal that is
Breaking up
From a disintegrating
Satellite

And I can see fires
(Above the neon signs)
I can see fires
(Above the checkpoint lines)
I can see fires
(No time to stop and say)
Fires in heaven
(Goodbye)
Fires in heaven

You wake beside me
In a moonlit field
I kiss your forehead
And you go back to sleep
There's distant traffic
On a carriageway
And someone's singing
In a night cafe

But I can see fires
(Above the pylon's wires)
I can see fires
(Above the stadium lights)
I can see fires
(Above the neon signs)
I can see fires
(Above the checkpoint lines)
Fires in heaven
Fires in heaven
Fires in heaven
Fires in heaven
