Why do I imitate nature?
Deny her authority
Came into this world a stranger
Expect that's how I leave

Man on fire
runs to water
Pour it in the eyes
of a burning sky
Still believe, still believe
Mountain mother
Perched high on the city walls
Lions beside her

Why do I imitate nature?
Lost in the gestures and dreams
Oh, that alien lie
Is there a reckoning?

Man on fire
runs to water
Pour it in the eyes
of a burning sky
Still believe, still believe
Mountain mother
Perched high on the city walls
Lions beside her

Man on fire
