Lyrics Faster Than Fire - The White Buffalo

Faster Than Fire

Remember days before the fire, before the flood
When houses were filled with laughter and love
The wind it howls like demon dogs sent from above
Birds take to the sky like they know what’s to come
Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters
Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you
Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you
But she is gonna show you, hey!
The flames ignite, spreading hell across the earth
Our lives are engulfed, no regard for their worth
Homes and hills and broken wills are blackened by the burn
Death to the dream, there’s nowhere to turn
Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters
Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you
Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you
But she is gonna show you, hey!
It’s a funeral pyre, bleeding hearts ablaze
Hoping help will come, they say it’s on its way
But the fires, they rage and rise and you can’t be saved
All the work we’ve done, oh, the dream it dies today
Oh, you can’t run faster than fire, faster than water
Oh, you better run for your lives, grab your sons and your… daughters
Oh, well the fire line, I don’t think we’ll hold you
Oh, mother nature’s a bitch, I don’t think she warned you
But she is gonna show you, hey!
Remember days before the fire, before the flood
