[Verse 1] We've built our altar on the mountain Offerings made, innocence stolen But hey, at least the view is nice Watch the world burn twice [Verse 2] We set our fires at the edge of the world Whisper prayers nobody heard Wave goodbye with empty smiles Nothing learned from these meaningless trials [Chorus] We try to calm the fire god Sacrificing sons and daughters But the flames keep rising higher Guess the gods just want more slaughter [Verse 3] Every season we repeat our sins Thinking blood stops all disasters Poor little lambs, guess luck ran out Following this dumb tradition without sense of doubt [Chorus] We try to calm the fire god Sacrificing sons and daughters But the flames keep rising higher Guess the gods just want more slaughter [heavy instrument break] [Bridge - Spoken] You can't stop what you can't stop You can't stop what you can't stop Might as well enjoy the show You can't stop what you can't stop You can't stop what you can't stop Pour some tea, watch it blow [Final Chorus] We try to calm the fire god Sacrificing sons and daughters But the flames keep rising higher Still, the gods demand more slaughter
