lyrics

A darkness burns through your brain
As we start to lose our minds
You stoke the fire with gasoline
Speaking all of your lies
Ignorance begets violence
Yet the truth don’t set us free
We’re just an obnoxious fuse
Lit by your apathy

Where there’s smoke well there must be fire
We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns
We’re stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle
And you just watch as the world starts to burn

You promised streets of gold
With your shined out silver tongue
We still keep our hope
Though the fumes fill up our lungs
And all that will be left
After you torch all our souls
Are the ashes of a blackened world
Left in your afterglow

Where there’s smoke well there must be fire
We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns
We’re stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle
And you just watch as the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn

Where there’s smoke well there must be fire
We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns
We’re stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle
And you just watch as the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn
As the world starts to burn
Burn

So heavy and melodic that makes me wanna doom the entire day with those nice riffs and that soothing vocals that entices the definition of flowing with the void. Hell yeah!! josedenoche

It was the third time I heard BlackJack Mountain live, and "Witch Of The Swamp", for the second time, that made me want to own a copy of this song. yardbyrd
