Fire In Athena - Lionize

Skies went gray, as we walked that day

It’s so often overcast

Heard the thunder, knew the lightning was close

The feeling continued to grow

I didn’t know (x2)

Rain came down, and you could hear the sound

Footsteps shaking the streets

Floods washed out, nearly swept us away

The people started to crowd

We overflowed (x2)

Flash of lightning ripped across the sky

Lit your dark, brown eyes

I could tell from the look of things you were scared to die

But everybody, everybody knows: they can’t take your soul

They can’t take your soul

Fire (x4) burning in the streets

Fire (x4) burning inside of me

I see you there in that Athens square

With your fist clenched tight and your jet-black hair

You were screaming out, «Exarchaeia» when the cavalry started to roll

They never showed (x2)

Everyone knows, nobody cares

You just stare at the screens in disbelief

Everyone’s aching, nobody shows

In the streets, you’ll get no relief

There are overlords, there are underlings

Distracted by your shiny things

People’s desire, more things to acquire

All your money is burning in a pyre

The smoke cleared out, but something hung in the air

The tanks breached the walls

What was left ringing in our ears, was a bell with a neverending toll

Everyone knows, everybody knows
