Light a candle, stare into the flame
Never mind the pounding on the door
If you move real soft, they might just go away
Their shadows shuffling on the floor
Lift your head, smoke is in the air
Can you hear the piper and the drums
Blow out the candle 'cause you don't want to know
Something wicked this way comes
Build some walls around you
They may keep you safe from change
The world may burn all around you
But the dogs are restless, and they're sniffing at your door
And now they talk of war, war
Now they talk of war, talk of war
Crack the window, take a look outside
Everybody's gone, or gone away
Hiding alone, too afraid to leave
Light another candle here and stay
May your walls surround you
May they keep you safe from change
The world may burn all around you
But the dogs are restless, and they're scratching at your door
And I can hear the war, pounding
And I can see the war, steaming
And I can feel the war, burning
It's coming through the door
And your walls surround you
Protecting you from change
Watch the world burn around you
But the past, it's restless, and it's coming through your door
I can hear the war, pounding
I can see the war, and it's steaming
I can feel the war, burning
I can hear the war, and it's pounding
I can see the war, steaming
I can feel the war, Fire... Fire... Fire
