lyrics

after the fire falls
when the chariot touches down
while the glowing earth still smolders
charcoal on charcoal ground

you can see for miles and miles
toothpicks in the black ash
the drizzle draws out the steam
and washes dark down the pass

lightning flashes overhead
a crow dips down for cover
the wind is billowing
and smoke is filling southern skies

come on and make it new

i can feel the rawness in me
the flame took all the skin off
little touches make me wince
little pushes make me fall

lay for hours in the misty air
lay for hours and just my thoughts
close my eyes to the bright lights
shut the windows and let the blinds fall

come on and make it new
