[Intro – lonely harmonica playing a slow dusty melody, acoustic guitar enters] [Verse 1] Old men talking by a fire Smoke drifting in the wind Said one day the sky would open And the thunder would begin Said the desert keeps a memory Of every war gone by Said the night would turn to daylight With fire from the sky [Chorus] Fire from the sky Lighting up the sand Sirens in the distance Echo through the land Fire from the sky Red across the night Looks like falling angels Burning out their light [Verse 2] Dust rolls down the border road Headlights cutting through Somewhere far beyond the hills The rockets start to move Windows shaking in the dark Children start to cry And the desert wind keeps whispering Fire from the sky [Chorus] Fire from the sky Lighting up the sand Sirens in the distance Echo through the land Fire from the sky Red across the night Looks like falling angels Burning out their light [Bridge – slower, bluesy] My grandfather told me once History walks in circles Same old song Different sky [Guitar + harmonica solo] [Final Chorus] Fire from the sky Lighting up the sand Every distant skyline Burning where it lands Fire from the sky Red across the night Old men tried to warn us When the sky caught fire [Outro – harmonica and acoustic guitar fading]
