A Nation On Fire Lyrics
Well I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
It hardens me, the things I see
But I won't break. it gives me strength
Our suffering. won't always be
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
The media it
Blinds out eyes
A people divided
And force fed lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
So take my hand, across this land
I won't go down, stand my ground
Our suffering. won't always be
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
This nation's built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won't break. Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, you'd leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
You tell me peace, well I hear gunshots all night
The scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight
An endless pain, and it won't change
We just sat, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
But I won't break. it gives me strength
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
Blinds out eyes
A people divided
And force fed lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
I won't go down, stand my ground
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won't break. Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, you'd leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
The scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight
An endless pain, and it won't change
We just sat, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire

This song is about how instead of helping others a lot of people murder and make the world more difficult to live in.
I might also add that it's about how we so obessesed wwith war and shit that we hardly think about peace or anything.
My personal favourite MH song; the intro Logan does is one of the best intros ever.
This one is a thought-provoking yet powerful song that addresses the issues of violence, division, and deception within society, particularly within the context of the United States. It talks of war and sacrifice, speaking of the historical tendency for nations to engage in a cycle of violence while touching on the disillusionment towards the concept of peace, suggesting that it is merely an illusion in a world where gunshots can be heard all night.
But in general, the song serves as a call to action, urging you to confront societal issues, challenge the status quo, and strive for a better future. It's a critique of the violence, division, and deception that plague society, encouraging individuals to stand up against these injustices.
Yeah the intro to this one is damn good, I learned it as soon as I heard it just coz its pro and its got the trademark harmonics!
