Midnight wind on the back of my neck
Boots on concrete, life keepin' me in check
I'm a lone wolf wanderin' where the shadows crawl
Moon layin' silver on the waterfall
Took a breath of the night, felt the world stand still
Just a man and the moon on a cracked-stone hill
But the quiet starts shakin', like a warnin' drum
Hear a whisper in the dark sayin', *"Boy, here it comes"*
Now the dam's on fire—
Crimson runnin' through the sky
Water turns to lightnin'
And the flames climb high
I'm standin' on the edge
While the world burns brighter
Can't run, can't hide—
When the dam's on fire
Smoke curls up like a serpent in the gloom
Heat on my face like the sun broke through too soon
Cracks in the stone like it's breathin' deep
Hear the river roar awake from its ancient sleep
I should turn my back, but I'm locked in place—
Watchin' chaos paint a halo on a night gone strange
Every ember's a message, every spark's a sign
Like the world's tryin' hard to redraw the line
Now the dam's on fire—
Crimson runnin' through the sky
Water turns to lightnin'
And the flames climb high
I'm standin' on the edge
While the world burns brighter
Can't run, can't hide
When the dam's on fire
Oh, the river's cryin'
But the flames keep flyin'
And a lonely wolf like me
Feels the whole world dyin'
But maybe in the fire
There's a spark for the lost
Every burn has a price
And I'll pay the cost
Yeah, the dam's on fire
Red storm in the night
Shadow of a lone wolf
Glows in the burning light
Standin' here frozen
But my heart beats wilder
The world can fall apart
Let the dam burn brighter
Moon above smolderin', river below cryin'
But I walk away slow
'Cause even fire ain't stoppin' me tryin'
