Pull the curtain, Dim the lights
And set the scene to kill tonight
Because we can't trust the men in blue
They swear to God they told the truth
I am making fires now for you
Holding up the light to see the truth
This time we will stand and make it through
The state was pulling strings today
Pressing flesh to make him pay
Dead man walking paralyzed
By greedy hearts and dirty eyes
I am making fires now for you
Holding up the light to see the truth
This time we will stand and make it through
Be terrified by all the things we know
Because if innocence is ordinary
There are places I don't want to go
The show is over, time to leave
A job well done, an hour to grieve
They're sorry if he's not the one
They had to kill somebodys son
I am making fires now for you
Holding up the light to see the truth
This time we will stand and make it through
