lyrics

The Heat
(Cardier)

Heat, wounded sky, bleeding trees -
Torn land and a tortured sea -
Buildings could be stones upon the ground -
Everybody something lost and found -
Once, there was a sun up in the sky -
Tell me why there is no sun and I still feel the heat.

She was of the sky -
She was fierce to my eye -
When the earth was at her feet
She gave birth to the heat -
The heat come on, the heat come on slow.

Heat, silence is where every noise will hide -
Red river turning with the tide -
Bone mountain towers overhead -
Everybody something else instead.
Once, there was a sun up in the sky -
Tell me why there is no sun and I still feel the heat.

She was of the sky -
She was fierce to my eye -
When the earth was at her feet
She gave birth to the heat -
The heat come on, the heat come on slow.
