Cease Fire

A little smoke in the alley
Lightning down the street
Ignited eyes of the strangers that we see
Fires turn to ashes
Dressed in tear drops over me
See the flames glowing higher
Cease fire

It all started in the caves
Before we even understood
On and on and on and on it goes all the hate and greed and good
Religion is better
We'll let you join us if you would
Brothers and sisters inspire
Cease fire

Blame the pain on any other someone than ourselves
It's a carnival of us and them
Targets on the shelf
We used to laugh and dance
Now we're just angry little elves
Sing and preach it to the choir
Cease fire
