Sleep Now in the Fire Lyrics
The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Just dont take what you need
Ill jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or Ill drag you to your grave
Im deep inside your children
Theyll betray you in my name
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
The lie is my expense
The scope of my desire
The party blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
I am the Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
For its the end of history
Its caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill
The Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire
Yeaaaaaah
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Just dont take what you need
Ill jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or Ill drag you to your grave
Im deep inside your children
Theyll betray you in my name
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
The scope of my desire
The party blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
I am the Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire
Its caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill
The Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire

Its just like the RATM song. The only difference is that Chris Cornell does the vocals. Which he does pretty bad. Still I love the song!
oh, come on its not that bad...just a little different. im sure if they properly recorded it, it would sound amazing.
Chris Cornell is a singer, not a rapper
yeah all three o you guys r right. (speacially overfloater) good song, but done better w/ mister roacha er rocca or however the hell you spell his name.
this song is awesome whoeva sings it chris cornell or zach de la rocha, i agree overfloater man u got it down zach is a brilant song writer no doubt bout it but chris is the man! chris cornell best rock n roll singer since robert plant!
Stone me if you like, but i never payed any attention to the vocals of this song. This song isnt about lyrics or vocals. Its about that little colorful intro he makes, and then about the ear-filling thunderstorm that starts to blast of lightningbolts out of that strato called soulpower.
Its obvious that Chris doesn't sound the greatest doing Zach's stuff, but like other people said, he is a singer not a rapper. I'm sure Zach wouldn't sound so great if he tried to sing some classic Soundgarden, its just out of his style like this is for Chris.
I miss soundgarden :( chris is still the man though and yeah this song rocks it just doesn't quite work without the awesomely angry man that is Zach de la Rocha singing it
