Christopher Hansard:[Fire in the Sky, Bright Flowers to Bloom]

Fire in the sky

Smoke on the ground

Last man standing defending the land

washed out oceans, quiet blow the wind

victory screams across the earth, like drunken angels

hungry ghosts in human form proclaim a new dawn of freedom

inspired by the cult of war

they have put Life in a museum and locked the door

even atheists are thrown in prison for believing in not believing

Fire in the sky

Smoke on the ground

Last man standing defending the land

without knowing why

there is a war and is to be found in guns and conflict, in religion and philosophy too

in economics and media and in the breakfast you have every day

Fire in the Sky, Smoke on the Ground

The Last Man standing has decided to lay his arms, hate and ignorance down

up come the weeds , with small bright flowers to bloom and call everyone

to remember how soon what we hold dear can be taken away
