The wind picked up the fire spread The grapevine singing left for dead The northern sky looked like the end of days end of days The wake up call to a rented room Sounded like an alarm of impending doom To warn us it's only a matter of time Before we all burn Before we all burn Before we all burn Before we all burn Bought some wine and some paper cups Near your daughters school and we picked her up Drove to the cemetary on a hill on a hill Watched the bullets paint the sky grey She laughed and danced through the field of graves There I knew we'd be alright Everything will be alright Will be alright Will be alright Will be alright News reports on the radio said it was getting worse As the ocean air fanned the flames But I couldn't think of anywhere I would've rather been To watch it all burn away To burn away <♪> The firemen worked in double shifts With prayers for rain on their lips They knew it was only a matter of time
