gabrielle lopes - forrest fire lyrics

Loading...

nathan walked the pulaski pines
with fire in his chest, back in ‘65
a zealot’s words that plagued into southern clay;
commands his cavalry to “charge ‘em both ways.”

a forrest fire, spread through civil war
262 men executed in fort
old nathan bedford, these were just his first ashes
of a forrest fire, left un+swailed when he holds the matches

and so compromise came, or so they thought;
resurgence of a war the union already fought
the promise of freedom was their political p+wn
and still thе war goes on, and on, and on

in ‘77, the forrest firе should’ve died
but it couldn’t if he let it, it couldn’t if he tried
see how a pejorative tradition so easily latches
to men born in a forrest fire, the ones now holding the matches

a forrest fire, only meant to burn
till the rebel’s surrender, thought they’d finally learn
but even after nathan laid to rest in vain
southern boys beat their chest, claiming they’ll “rise again.”
