lyrics

1927
Every bird will fly when there’s a fire
And every man will stand to watch the flames
And every priest will pray for his own spire
And Fountain Square is losing one tonight

Every ear will hear the siren’s calling
And every bell that rings in our distress
And all our hearts will echo with the horror
And all our darkest fears will be confessed

Chorus 1:
Hotter than the August sun
Watch the ashes rise like the prayers of the people
All our memories (and confessions)
Drifting up to heaven like the dark snow of winter

Chorus 2:
Hotter than the August sun
Smell the smoke like sweet perfume
that carries our transgressions
Will our years and dreaming (all our) hopes
Vanish in the Roiling clouds and drift up to sunless skies

Everyone that comes will be a witness
And everyone who comes will build it back
Better than in all its former glory
St. Patrick’s church will stay alive tonight

Bridge:
Think of the hand that struck the match
Think of the blood that quenched the flames
Think of the one who gave his breathe
Think of the one who calls your name
