Firebreather Lyrics
Tell me, are you free?
Tell me, are you free?
In word or thought or deed,
Tell me, are you free?
While the gallows stand,
and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
We fold our hands and
Hold our tongues.
Tell me are you free,
When the fear falls on you?
Tell me are you free,
When the fear falls on you?
While the gallows stand,
and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
Will i fold my hands,
and hold my tongues?
Or let the flames lick at my feet,
and breathe in fire and know I’m free.
The flames will rise and devour me.
Oh, to breathe in fire, and know I’m free.
Tell me, are you free?
In word or thought or deed,
Tell me, are you free?
and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
We fold our hands and
Hold our tongues.
When the fear falls on you?
Tell me are you free,
When the fear falls on you?
and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
Will i fold my hands,
and hold my tongues?
Or let the flames lick at my feet,
and breathe in fire and know I’m free.
Oh, to breathe in fire, and know I’m free.

if you look at the song and consider the fact that Dustin is Christian then you will realize that he is talking about the persecution of Christians in the last days when we will be shot and hung and burned as the stake for our faith in Christ and how some will simply deny Christ by "holding their tongues" and how we may be physically free from death but are we really free if fear of death causes us to deny our beliefs. and in the end he says "ill breath in fire and know im free" free from the life lived on earth and set free to live with christ...
to me this song speaks about the persecution of christians. i may be (and probably am) wrong but the holy spirit is symbolized by fire. could a firebreather be one who spreads the message of god? just some food for thought. i love the chorus at the end.. great song allaround... GO TRICE!!! woot haha
No, your right alright. It says right in Biblical scripture he is symbolized by fire. For example, Moses was visited by god in the bible, and God spoke to him through a burning bush. I could go on but i got homework to do.......

I believe this song is talking about standing up for what you believe in and then being ridiculed for your thoughts because you spoke up. Dustin is saying that when the time comes to stand up for yourself or your beliefs will you stand strong in what you believe and take the ridicule from others.
"oh to breath in fire and know I'm free" - Taking heat(ridicule) from others but being able to be free and express yourself
"Bullets lance the bravest lungs" - those who are brave/courageous enough to stand up for what they believe in get ridiculed, cast out, made fun of...etc.

As much as I didn't want to, I've been listening to the two new songs all day.
Freaking wonderful and the intro is wonderfully heavy.
Hey, I'm updating as I listen but I'm not great with lyrics. Any help?
Here's what I have so far. Some little pieces might be wrong, but eh.
Tell me are you free? Tell me are you free? What __ Tell me are you free?
__ the bravest lungs Throw our hands up Hold our tongues
Tell me are you free When the fear falls on you? Tell me are you free When the fear falls on you?
Tell me are you free? Tell me are you free?
Tell me are you free?
_____ the bravest lungs When I throw my hands up Hold my tongue And let the flames lick at my feet And breathe in fire And know I'm free
Flames will rise and devour me To breathe in fire and know I'm free
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh (Know I'm free)
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
