Smoke Signal
By: Elijah Althoff

They’re gonna start a fire, gonna make a smoke signal.
Flames reaching ever higher, burning out of control.

You’re gonna feel it, feel the heat rise.
Don’t let the fire take you by surprise.

The only time that I will crawl,
Is to escape the smoke, don’t burn it all.
Don’t let the fire steal your flame.
Remember you’re not the one to blame.

They’re gonna start a fire, gonna make a smoke signal.
Flames reaching ever higher, burning out of control.

You’re gonna feel it, feel the heat rise.
Don’t let the fire take you by surprise.

And if the smoke fades to white,
Then don’t forget, and don’t think twice.
Just let the fire burn and die,
There comes a time to ask why.

They’re gonna start a fire, gonna make a smoke signal.
Flames reaching ever higher, burning out of control.

You’re gonna feel it, feel the heat rise.
Don’t let the fire take you by surprise.

The only time that I will fall,
Is in the end, on the crumbled walls.
Don’t let the fire burn your mind.
Just relax and take your time.

But if the fire takes your life,
Don’t beg for forgiveness, just ask why.
You made the choice, the sacrifice
Now comes the time to pay the price.

They’re gonna start a fire, gonna make a smoke signal.
Flames reaching ever higher, burning out of control.

You’re gonna feel it, feel the heat rise.
Don’t let the fire take you by surprise.

awesome lyrics, really good chorus part too. i think it would sound cool as a reggae song, i can hear the lyrics working with that kinda music

Very cool indeed. it had me digging out my old cds by The Band for a track with the same name.

Hey thanks for the kind words guys. It's actually a more metal-ish song with clean breakdowns during the verses. Anyway I really appreciate you guys taking the time to check this out. Thanks again guys...
