Matisyahu - Altar of earth

Tekst :

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
2x

Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
Rubbing sticks together but your fire s man-made
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
False pride is suicide but you ve got nothing to gain
Babylon s buildings rise like flames
Drowning in their champagne
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
Soul stain blowing up in your own domain
Firecrackers ooh and ahh but they never maintain
Fire s burning, flames are dancing, don t burn the house down low
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
2x

One pair of eyes; but see two different things
One person cries while the other one sings
Walk around like everybody owes you something
Take what you got, thank G_d for all that life brings
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
While the rich man s hands are empty but he s sitting like a king

Fire s burning, flames are dancing, don t burn the house down low
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground

Backpack s getting heavy, moving at a steady pace
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Making way, run in haste
There s no time to tase what you ate
We should be grateful, got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
2x

You should be more subtle
You could keep your hustle
Keep your laughing
Keep your chuckle
Flashing muscle brass knuckle
Bust your bubble gum pop
Take off the muzzle
Hate to ruffle feathers
Raking _____ ??
Struggle through the rubble
Concrete jungle
Brisk and brustle
Slip and shuffle
Stumble into trouble
Spirit rumble in the temple
Mumble nothing
You should be more humble
In the continental call your bluff
Your puffin smoke is fundamental
In this ocean you re a pebble

Fire s burning, flames are dancing, don t burn the house down low.
Heavenly fire, only resides, in an altar made from the ground.

    The structure falls

    Save the scars
    Hide your face
    I ve done
    Read your mind
    Well, my perception on deception
    And this will to lie is changing

    It s ripping me and tempting me
    To give you this gun
    But all the time that you have lied
    I ve known what you done

    So save the scars and hide your face
    Keep your form...

    Metal machine

    I have a phobia
    a fear of the dark
    afraid to shoot strangers
    the animal talks

    Guns scare me shitless
    but love gun s my friend
    the sentinel s coming
    but is this the end

    Riding on this crazy train
    i m going paranoid
    watch me lose my mind
    and break the law

    It s close to midnight and

    When a boy falls in love

    I ve heard them say love was a wonderful things
    Something you couldn t hide on a shelf
    But for me they no longer have to explain
    Because I know for myself

    He awakens each morn with a smile on his face
    When a boy is in love
    And the world to him is a beatiful...

    Cellar door

    We walked through the doorway
    Heard you calling from the hall
    To find you in the bedroom
    Not breathing at all
    I drug your body to the cellar where we lay
    The wax, it melts away
    I kiss your face.

    Now we are starting to love you more
    Your body s on the canvas
    I paint it on the...
