Fire Won't Die

by Indian City

on Here & Now (2016)

[Verse One]
I turned my back on the ways of the old
My spirit's been frozen left out in the cold
Come back to me, run as fast as you can
While I slowly choke on the new medicine

[Chorus]
The fire won't die
The fire won't die

[Verse Two]
Breathe in the smudge try to cleanse off the day
But I feel the sting of the faces they make
You say you do, but you don't understand
All of the things that had my mom and dad

[Chorus]
The fire won't die
The fire won't die

[Bridge]
That's what I heard from my father
That's what they said to my daughter
As long as the river runs the fire won't die
That's what I'll say as a father

(guitar solo)

[Verse Three]
Here we are now, yes we have arrived
All my relations the light in their eyes
Write a new chapter and sing a new song
History tells us where we belong
