Widespread Panic

Cease Fire

Smoke in the alley
The lightning down the street
Ignited eyes
All the strangers that we see
Fires turn to ashes
Drenched in teardrops over me
See flames glowing higher
Seize fire
It all started in a cage
Before we even understood
And on and on and on and on
All the hate and greed and good
Our religion is bitter
We'd let you join us if you would
All the brothers and sisters inspire
Seize fire
Blame, blame
On any other someone than ourselves
It's a carnival of personnel
All just targets on the shelf
How we used to laugh and dance
Now we're just angry little elves
See him preachin' to the choir
Seize fire
