A Great Fire Lyrics
Burning down
We can't stop it, we gotta get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever
Don't try to turn this around on me
I'm the one that saved you
This was my love
This was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard the sirens begin to chime
I can feel my heart begin to race
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I threw you over my shoulder
With the angel on my other
I'm not your hero
I'll never be
What you wanted
What you thought I would be
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
My sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know trust
Is the mother of deceit
And there you were
Six years old, ashes in your hair
You're not scared
You've seen so much pain in so few years
As the world
Becomes a place where no one wants to say
We remain
Silent until it's too late
And as I see the planes taking over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
(And you're burning down my life so slowly)
My sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know trust
(I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)
We can't stop it, we gotta get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever
I'm the one that saved you
This was my love
This was my life
It's not always just about you
I can feel my heart begin to race
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
With the angel on my other
I'm not your hero
I'll never be
What you wanted
What you thought I would be
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
My sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know trust
Is the mother of deceit
Six years old, ashes in your hair
You're not scared
You've seen so much pain in so few years
As the world
Becomes a place where no one wants to say
We remain
Silent until it's too late
I can feel it coming to the end
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
(And you're burning down my life so slowly)
My sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know trust
(I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)

no one had attempted this one so i figured id give it a shot lol i think it's right for the most part, theres a line or two in there that I was a little unsure of, so if anyone has any clear mistakes id be happy to edit this
oh yeah and this new album = ear sex
Some changes.
Verse 2: I feel you up on my shoulder Like the angel, like my other Im not your hero Ill never be what you wanted, what you thought I would be
Chorus 2: I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me, Mind and soul, now the same And my body guides the way I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me Deep inside, ?I know this? is the mother of deceit
And as I see the flames that go in the sky I can feel it coming to the end
Oh and verse 1:
And as I heard, the sirens begin to chime, I can feel my heart begin to race
thanks for that its all fixed now that "I know this" part is still a little iffy, but its better than what i had so i still put it up there haha
Yeah I just can't figure out what he says there. I'm pretty sure its the something of deceit... Just not sure what he says.
lol im looking in the cd booklet and theres a few mistakes. and a whole section of singing left out. its not "this was my own" in the beginning, its "this was my home" and its i know this is, its i know TRUTH is the mother of deceit. and then at the endish it says: "and as i hear the planes take over the sky i can feel it coming to the end and your burning down my life so slowly i know in my heart trust is the mother of deceit" this sites off by just a few lol good song though.
I guess i'll take a shot at the meaning,
If you look on the cd's website you see a story attatched to the whole album Its about a family who loses their house in a fire and moves into a hotel where their loyalty is tested And the marraige falls apart
So this song is just the first chapter, the man awakens to the scent of smoke and rushed his family out of the house and saves their lives. This sparks the death of their relationship, and the man's whole life turns around against him.
This finally makes sense that why they have like chapter 1 and 2 etc etc and vices seem to just build off of all this.

That's a good meaning but from what I've seen he sing about a girl that had an alcoholic dad and a mom that didn't care about her and she was raped as a kid. In the music video of Vices you can see that it starts out when shes quite young and then the mom and dad are separated. Then it shows that the mom is selling herself and shes out and then the next part it starts out with her dad drinking beer and shes home, and then he starts pushing her and hit her and in a short...

Then the lyrics is about someone going out and need to cope with some disaster and that is probably abuse.

Okay, so if you listen to the entire album you learn that the man that lives in the home, is actually the one who started the fire, in attept to kill his wife and daughter, but can't go threw with it and saves their lives.
Oh and they've corrected most of the lyrics but this part;
"I threw you over my shoulder, with a angel on the other"
:D
and it's "I threw you over my shoulder with the angel on my other"
"deep inside i know that trust is the mother of deceit"
and after " i can feel it coming to an end" you forgot some lyrics that say "and you're burning down my life so slowly. i know in my heart trust is the mother of deceit"
if you think i'm wrong i've got the booklet right in front of me. great song though!
lyrics should be good now :)
