About

“Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body” (James 3:5-6, NIV). This song focuses on the fact that what we say can have a strong impact on ourselves and those around us, and that we should not speak out of hat...

A Small Spark vs. A Great Forest Lyrics

What did you say? Don't speak
You nailed down all your words on me
It felt like a blind guide
Leading me into quicksand
Fight fair, fight fair
Not all you hear is noise
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!

I've earthed this seed so many times
Deeply held in this skin of bark
Branches made of ash
And forest born of flame

Restless and full of poison
Shattered by a sea of dialogue
Rabid speech, like dogs with teeth
With words like a beggar, that don't speak, that don't speak
Crouched and bent out of shape
Rip this tongue out by the root
And shake, shake these walls of this pale grave
A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills
A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills

A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills
A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills

Open grave from which a great
Forest will rise
The fire collapses
The corpses I've made
This should not be
Oh how we curse
The tongue is a flame
Let there be grace

With words like a beggar, with words like a beggar
That don't speak, that don't speak
That don't speak, that don't speak
Don't speak

Rip this tongue out by the root
And shake these walls
Shake these walls of this pale grave

A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills
A blaze, a blaze
Is set upon the hills

Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair, fight fair!
Fight fair!
