Midnight Fires - Pilot Speed

Our brothers waged a lonely fight, while the bottom reaches out

Our leaders in the hall tonight try to talk this country down

Light up the land that crowned you

Take up the call around you

We’re all under the microscope searching for the fire

We’ve surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire

Who will see the crime in every face?

Who will face the fire then turn away

Who has spoken out, stand or be put down

Who will face the wise, and watch the system die

Someone set the hills alight with a blinding midnight fire

A history worth of a nation’s crime, lie atop this funeral pyre

See how the world has found you

Hiding from what surrounds you

We’re all under the microscope searching for the fire

We surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire

Who will see the crime in every face?

(are we coming undone?)

Who will face the fire then turn away?

(are we coming undone?)

Who has spoken out, stand or be put down

Who will face the wise, then watch the system die…
