Pull the curtain, Dim the lights   And set the scene to kill tonight   Because we can't trust the men in blue   They swear to God they told the truth      I am making fires now for you   Holding up the light to see the truth   This time we will stand and make it through      The state was pulling strings today   Pressing flesh to make him pay   Dead man walking paralyzed   By greedy hearts and dirty eyes      I am making fires now for you   Holding up the light to see the truth   This time we will stand and make it through      Be terrified of all the things we know   Because if innocence is ordinary   There are places I don't want to go      The show is over, time to leave   A job well done, an hour to grieve   They're sorry if he's not the one   They had to kill somebodys son      I am making fires now for you   Holding up the light to see the truth   This time we will stand and make it through
