Youth On Fire Lyrics

Don't you see that tower growing

Up into the sky?

A tower of immoderation

Is growing much too high

All that greed for more 'n' higher

A burst of a natural flame

A tower based on sick foundations

Same old evil game



Tumbling tower

High-growing flower

Youth on fire



"This is the sickness of high civilization

Economy towers and business-temples

Out of the towers; out of the town

Lest you take part in its fraud

For her sins are heaped high as heaven"



And don't you see that flower growing

Within a peaceful law

The beauty such a modesty

Can teach us how to grow

And what about our wretched being?

About our ruthless life?

For every artificial dirt

We sold our mothers life



Tumbling tower

High-growing flower

Youth on fire



I pray the Lord my soul to keep

While Babylon will fall

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Can't you hear me call?



Tumbling tower

High-growing flower

Youth on fire



Feel the burning of a new generation

The heat of a fiery youth

A cleaning fire down from heaven

Shall free the hidden truth

Heaven knows we're holding on

'Cause it seems were blessed

We are meant to stay alive

And I swear to do my best



Tumbling tower

High-growing flower

Youth on fire
