Lyrics
Fire in the Hole
My head can’t wrap itself ‘round what is happing here.
The bones, decomposed, lie in Arlington for what we hold dear. They died for freedom for people we licked in them wars.
Now our country’s divided and I ask myself what they died for. Neighbor against neighbor, and friend against friend.
Families torn up by ideologies.
Are the days gone we were on the same side;
a nation of fairness, kindness, and dreams?
There’s a fire in the hole.
There’s a yearning in the soul. Divided we stand - united we fall. Hating is harder than loving.
But there’s a fire in the hole.
Our soldiers died for freedom, for the rights of everyone.
Do ya think the ones who make it home wanna keep that army gun? Those kids, they got it right: they seen war too.
They heard the shots and cries - this ain’t nothing new.
They know your arguments; they know your views.
But they have looked death in the eye - they’re trying to tell you. Long after you are gone, you’ll be proud of what they do.
There’s a fire in the hole.
There’s a burning in the soul.
Our heart is in flames - it’s gonna explode. Hating is harder than loving.
There’s a fire in the hole.
Fire in the hole - our soul is yearning. Fire in the hole - our hearts are burning. Divided we stand - united we fall. Hating is harder than loving.
Fire in the hole - our country’s burning. Fire in the hole - the tide is turning. Hating is hard. Love is divine.
We have the right to live out our time. Fire in the hole - the kids are hurting. Fire in the hole - the tide is turning. Hating is hard. Love is divine.
We have the right to live out our time.
