[Verse 1] Cold block Black hood Black past Ash in my lungs From the bridges I trashed Teeth grit I don't pray I hunt If the devil want smoke Tell him come to the front Eyes red From the nights I bled Every scar on my skin Is a word I said Whispers in my ear "Are you ready for war?" I was born in the storm What you think this is for [Chorus] Tongs of fire Swing that steel If your soul ain't clean Get peeled (yah) I don't fear that dark I kneel Only to the One they can't kill Tongs of fire War in the sky If you stand on lie You fry (hey!) I got armour they can't buy Sword in my mouth when I cry [Verse 2] Night shift I see snakes in the saints Halo on tilt Blood under their paint Fast talk But their courage on mute They quote holy scripts Still they move like brutes I seen halos crack Over powder and cash Seen a choirboy fall For a chain and a flash So I guard this flame Like a mark on my skin If temptation knocks twice I ain't letting it in [Chorus] Tongs of fire Swing that steel If your soul ain't clean Get peeled (woah) I don't fear that dark I kneel Only to the One they can't kill Tongs of fire War in the sky If you stand on lie You fry (yah) I got armour they can't buy Sword in my mouth when I cry [Outro] [beat strips back Sub barely humming] Hear that? Breath on your neck in the night Every shadow on road Is a test of your sight Tongs of fire call for battle in spiritual wars You choose chains Or you choose scars Name on a roll Or name on a wall When that trumpet shakes the ground Who you gonna call [whispered Almost dry] Tongs of fire Tongs of fire Hold your line This is war in the quiet
