Fire Down Below Lyrics
Been a lifetime since I last confessed to you
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here’s the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Been a long time since I’ve last had words with you
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don’t pray for me one day you’ll find
I’m sleeping in my urn feeling just fine
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Fix me a drink
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here’s the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don’t pray for me one day you’ll find
I’m sleeping in my urn feeling just fine
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

To me this song is just about death. It sounds like he's talking about life after death. There is no heaven (nothing but darkness up aboe) and down below the fire burns (Hell) he and his friends will be there in the end just waiting for you to join them. I've only heard it once and just read the lyrics, but life after death is what I get.

WOW this song is great. I agree with MarcusH about the whole life after death thing. It doesnt really follow the whole Saitanic thing that some of their other songs do...
Sweet! This song is the first on the Warp Tour Compilation. I love it because it has an old school trio feel, with matt's morbid talk of hell (poetry), but also exemplifies how they have matured as artists, note the solo played behing the intro. Gotta gotta love it!
i heard it off the warped tour cd too! it's really amazing. and yeah i agree with marcusH too, it's basically about that as far as i can tell. and it does still follow the satanic feel from matt, how he and his friends are waiting in hell. but heaven doesn't exist. it seems to follow pretty well. and fits in with him being in the church of satan.
