Original Fire Lyrics By Audioslave

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on

    with a pen in one hand taking a stand drugged on kerosene
    84 and 5 would find us something to believe
    right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
    singing songs in discord choirs
    screaming in braille
    no temptress prize could ever yield anything so real

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on

    golden soldiers born much older than they’ll ever live to be
    diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
    here the rain falls forever after
    and the swinging vines hang dead in rafters
    blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and long gone but the riot inside moves on

    can’t explain it it was something to see
    can’t contain something ever real ever real
    ever real
    can’t explain it it was something to see
    can’t contain something so ever real ever real
    ever real

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on

    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
    the original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
