Chorus:
Am G F G
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Am G F G
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion
Am G F G
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Am G F G
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion
Am G
Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
F G
Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made
Am G
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
F
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
G
False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
Am
Babylon's buildings raise like flames
G
Drowning in their champagne
F G
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
Am G
Soul stain blowing up, in your own domain
F G
Fire crackers ohh and aah, but they never maintain
Bridge:
F G
Fires burning, flames are dancing
Am G
Don't burn the house down Lord
F G Am G
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground
Bridge
Am G
One pair of eyes
F G
But see two different things
Am G F G
One person cries but the other one sings
Am G
You walk around like everybody owes ya something
G F
Take what you got, thank God for all that life brings
Am G
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
F G
While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a king
Bridge
Dm G
Backpack's getting heavy, moving at a steady pace
Am Em
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Dm Am
Making way, run in haste, there is no time to taste
Em
What you ate, we should be grateful got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain
Chorus
