Fire In the Sky Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lovegoodmusic 

Cover art for Fire In the Sky lyrics by John Butler Trio

One of JBT's few anti-war songs, and how good is it!? No doubt written in the aftermath of the commencement of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, it critiques the absurdities of both war and religion (which is used to justify war). Its greatest comment is his question - "But I don't understand, how one can kill a man, in the name peace? That's ridiculous".
