Rulers of Men


They said they'd tame the sea
when all her storms began their howling.
Said they'd patch the holes in sky
before the sun bought us to boiling.
And they said they'd stop the fires
before we burned for understanding.
Then they watergated wires
to stop the questions and the talking.

And my boy is burning.

They stared building walls
around their power and their comfort.
But no guns have yet been fired,
so keep your heads down, go in quiet.
Cos who am I to say
that this is all the start of endings
When we all hope and pretend
just keeping on will bring us everything.

But my boy is burning.
My boy is burning.
My boy is burning.
Right in front of me.
