Burn the Sky

The heat is rising fast and furious
The midnight air is warm and dry
Take a few drags and drop the mortars
It's OK if you want to die
The insignificant blaze you've conquered
Chest out, chin up, sixth marine
So damn confident, so experienced
I can't handle it, kill my fear

But who are you to decide
Who lives, who burns, and who dies
You're not the one to be so bold
Making decisions only God should hold

Burn the sky, born to die
You end a bloodline generations at a time
Burn the sky, left to die
A cloud of souls rises up to veil the moon
And burn the sky

Under cover on the horizon
The blackened quilt of deep despair
The path of a beast that's ever hungry
The more it eats the bigger the better than
Trained for the battle
The warriors in gear
The bravest of the brave
Have given lives right here

But who are you to decide
Who lives, who burns, and who dies
You're not the one to be so bold
Making decisions only God should hold

Burn the sky, born to die
You end a bloodline generations at a time
Burn the sky, left to die
A cloud of souls rises up to veil the moon
And burn the sky
